BOAT HOUSE SOLAR PROJECT

Traverse City Record-Eagle · last updated

Crews install solar panels on the roof of the Cornwell Sailing Center on Boardman Lake, which received a new roof as well as the solar panels as part of the City of Traverse City’s solar and battery storage program at the neighboring Wastewater Treatment Plant. The project is funded through a $1,685,479 grant from the Michigan Public Service Commission’s Low Carbon Energy Infrastructure Enhancement & Development program. The city said it expects to save approximately $41,000 per year through the panels’ production of about 10 percent of the plant’s annual electricity use.
