Description:
As a part of the City’s Sustainable Energy Strategy, the City has installed more than 4 megawatts of solar, including solar covered parking installations at parks, community centers, and fire stations. Two phases of solar covered parking have been completed, with the first completed in July 2010, totalling 827 kW. The second phase, completed in December 2011, brought the City's total to 1.8 MW of solar covered parking over 1,720 parking spaces.
At Durango Hills Community Center, located in northwest Las Vegas within Ward 4, panels shade 42 parking spaces. The total size of the system is 32 kW and will generate approximately 68,000 kWh, offsetting the building's meter by about 30 percent. Funding for the project came from City of Las Vegas Green Building Special Revenue funds and NV Energy SolarGenerations rebates. Contributing to the successful completion of the project was TWC Construction.
