The Ann Arbor City Council will vote tonight to spend nearly $1 million for the purchase and storage of solar panels for the Sustainable Energy Utility.
The city is set to buy over 6,800 Solar PV modules from New York-based Samba Energy. They’re to be installed at participating SEU locations in Ann Arbor beginning in 2028.
SEU Executive Director Shoshannah Lenski says it’s a major milestone for the utility.
Lenski says that will help secure $3 million in tax credits, which will be critical in keeping solar rates affordable. She says they are preparing to serve hundreds of residents in the coming years.
