With the help of a rebate from Otter Tail AOA体育平台 Company, Lakeland Public Television recently installed a 39.6-kilowatt (kW) rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system.
Projected savings are more than 45,000 kilowatt-hours annually. 鈥淐ombining our $34,000 rebate with the simple payback brought the project from outside scope to implementation,鈥� said Otter Tail AOA体育平台 Company Energy Management Representative Roger Garton. Lakeland Public Television also completed an upgrade to energy-saving LED lighting and implemented cost-effective geothermal heating and cooling systems. 鈥淚t鈥檚 encouraging to see a business take a leadership role in its community when it comes to efficiency and energy,鈥� said Garton.
Through Otter Tail AOA体育平台 Company鈥檚 Publicly Owned Property (POP) Solar program, publicly owned facilities may qualify for a cash incentive by installing a solar PV system. Incentives include $1,250 per kW of installed nameplate direct capacity (DC), up to 50 percent of project costs, for systems less than 40 kW of nameplate DC capacity.
