MUNICIPALITIES

Solar for Municipalities

Feeling the squeeze of rising energy costs? Energy storage and solar for municipalities provide the immediate energy savings and long-term price predictability your organization needs — all while achieving sustainability goals.

Meet Sustainability Goals

Our team of solar experts will design a solar and storage solution that transitions your municipality away from fossil fuels, aligns with climate action goals and provides a sustainable, forward-thinking approach to energy management.

Lower Energy Bills

Energy-intensive water purification systems are costly. An onsite solar installation — paired with energy storage — will save you money. By charging during low-cost periods and discharging during high-cost peak times, you’ll eliminate fluctuating energy demands and significantly reduce your energy bill.

Long-Term Support

From long-term financing and project design to ongoing operations and maintenance, you can count on REC Solar to maximize your investment by being the comprehensive, reliable long-term solar partner your team can count on for years to come.
