Euclid's Going Green

The Euclid Public Library and Euclid’s City Hall have partnered to install photovoltaic (PV)-solar panels on their rooftops in one of the largest joint public projects in the State of Ohio to help meet the electrical needs of city hall and the library.

Combined, the PV solar arrays will generate approximately 155 kilowatts. Over the life of the contract, the energy produced will cost less than that provided by the utility company, resulting in annual savings to both the library and the city.
Together, the project will offset almost 150 tons of carbon dioxide per year, reducing the “carbon footprint” of the library and the city. That’s the equivalent of taking more than 25 cars off the road!
This project includes an important educational component that provides information to Euclid residents and businesses about the potential benefits and cost savings of solar energy. Both the library and city hall will have electronic displays (kiosks) in their buildings that provide “real time” information on the
amount of energy being produced and the amount of carbon dioxide that is offset by using solar panels to generate electricity. This is available also at the following websites:
