Summary:
In 1997, the City of Scottsdale joined the Arizona Public Service (APS) Solar Partners Program. At that time, the available role for the City was to provide facilities or land where APS, at no charge to them and no cost to the City, could install solar power generating systems. The solar power generated from these systems is added to the power grid where it became available for Scottsdale residents who subscribe to the Solar Partners Program. The first system installed was an 8,000 square-foot, 34-kW PV roofing system on employee parking lot carports at the City’s Via Linda Campus. The Civic Center Library and Mustang Library is each host to a 2-kW PV system. The Water Campus system is comprised of two 150-kW single access tracking systems mounted on water storage reservoirs.
APS expanded the Solar Partners Program to enable commercial enterprises and those partners whose facilities included APS solar power generating installations to purchase a portion of the solar power they generated. In June 2000, Scottsdale began an annual purchase of 40,500 kWh of solar energy for its Civic Center and Mustang Libraries.
