Riding Park City’s local transit system just got a little greener. Park City Municipal Corporation wrapped up its latest solar project by adding 214 American-made solar panels to the Iron Horse transit facility. This system will generate roughly 87,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean energy per year, equivalent to 25 percent of the facility’s electricity consumption in 2011.

The solar project was funded primarily by a Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant administered by the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT). Park City contributed 20 percent of the total project costs through local transit sales tax funds.
