Park City Police Facility Drawing on Power of the Sun
PARK CITY, Utah — The Park City Police Force has a new resource at its disposal: the power of the sun. Thanks to support from Rocky Mountain Power’s Blue Sky program the City was able to install 88 American-made solar panels on the Police Facility in August 2012. The 22 kilowatts of solar energy will generate 35,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per year, nearly enough to power four average Utah households. The solar panels complement a wide variety of green measures, such as geothermal heat pumps, that were previously integrated into the facility when it was built in 2007.
