Up on the roof
In February, Minneapolis completed installation of 429 solar panels on the roof of its Royalston Maintenance Facility, located near Target Field, home of the Minnesota Twins (shown in background). The project is one of six new solar installations on publicly owned Minneapolis buildings that either produce electricity or provide hot water. They are all located in the Energy Innovation Corridor, which showcases energy efficiency, renewable energy, transportation and smart technology along the new Central Corridor light rail line. The solar projects were funded by Department of Energy grants – from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act – and Xcel Energy rebates.
