50kW Solar Array at the Department of Public Works

Want to see how much energy our 50kW Solar Array at the Department of Public Works is generating? 

Check out our SOLAR ARRAY DASHBOARD for a live report on yearly, monthly, weekly or even daily production.

This 50 kilowatt solar array was installed in 2012, using a combination of Energy Efficiency Conservation Block Grant and a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Revolution Energy of Portsmouth.  The Power Purchase agreement lasted 10 years and now the Town owns the facility outright.   

The project, initiated by the Exeter Energy Committee and Exeter's Select Woman Julie Gilman, has capacity to offset 5% of the energy used by the Exeter Waste Water facility.  It is an important component of Exeter's efforts to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by obtaining some of our energy needs from renewable sources.
