Marana completing solar projects at Crossroads and Ora Mae parks
Ora Mae Harn District Park
The town of Marana has long considered the economic benefits of adding solar panel arrays to its parks, and is nearing completion on two separate projects in the coming weeks.
Shade-providing solar setups are under construction at Ora Mae Harn District Park and Crossroads at Silverbell District Park, in partnership with Solon Energy.
According to Marana Facilities Superintendent Brendan O’Connor, the town has entered into a “power-purchase agreement,” in which Solon pays for the installation costs of the arrays, while the town pays a discounted rate for the energy it uses.
