The Franklin County Cooperative Extension Service (FCES) is seeking proposals for a solar photovoltaic system to meet up to 100% of their office electricity needs, with a battery storage option. A solar site assessment and utility bill analysis has been provided to FCES by Andy McDonald of Apogee-Climate & Energy Transitions. Based on Apogee’s analysis, we have a preliminary estimate of the size solar PV system required for the FCES facility, 59 KW-dc or 45 KW-ac. Based on electricity usage in 2022, a 59.15 KW-dc PV array would generate 82% of FCES’ annual usage. A system of this size would be the maximum permissible under Kentucky Utilities’ NMS-2 net metering tariff (45 KW-ac).
