Johnson County's newest solar project is about to come on-line at the Ambulance and Medical Examiner Building (AME). The solar array is being built by Eagle Point solar and features two parts. The main array is on the roof and resembles the array built on top of the Health and Human Services Building. The smaller array is on the green roof creating a shade structure for outdoor meetings and space for downtime for the high stress jobs of Ambulance and Medical Examiner.
The AME building was built very energy efficient, so our preliminary numbers indicate that the solar we thought would provide 25% of the building's power needs may end up closer to 50%. This is also because the solar panels are so much more efficient in just a year later.
I'm very proud to be part of a County leading on renewable energy.
