Carson solar installation to provide renewable energy to 500 homes, City Hall

Daily Breeze 

The fifth rooftop community solar installation in Carson officially went online Thursday morning, April 30, with the 1.32-megawatt rooftop providing 100% renewable energy at reduced rates to about 500 households and City Hall.

The project was a joint effort between the Clean Power Alliance and industrial real estate company Prologis. It is part of the CPA’s Power Share program, which the alliance implemented as part of the California Public Utilities Commission’s Disadvantaged Communities Green Tariff program; the PUC program helps develop renewable energy projects in disadvantaged communities.

“These savings provide critical relief for families disproportionately impacted by high energy bills,” said alliance CEO Ted Bardacke. “We are proud to help expand equitable access to renewable energy solutions that strengthen communities, lower costs and ensure Southern California’s clean energy future benefits everyone.” Power Share participants will receive a 20% discount on electricity bills, including Carson itself — which will save $75,000 per year.
