Solar + Storage for Public Buildings

Solar energy projects can provide energy cost savings, on-site renewable energy, reduced carbon emissions, and when battery backup systems are included, maintain power in the event of a grid outage. However, the capital investment and resource requirements for these projects present significant barriers. The Solar + Storage for Public Buildings program helps Peninsula Clean Energy's customers who are public agencies overcome these barriers by providing needed resources and a streamlined process.

A power purchase agreement (PPA) with Peninsula Clean Energy provides the public agency site host or owner with a fixed, economical price for electricity. There is no capital outlay for the site host or owner.

Peninsula Clean Energy will provide energy and savings analyses, vendor selection via public solicitation, management, coordination and support – at no cost to the site host or owner. The solar or solar + battery backup system will be owned, installed, and maintained by Peninsula Clean Energy's vendor.
