Austin Energy Commercial Solar Project under Solar Standard Offer program

completed

Austin Energy unveiled its first commercial solar project under the city's Solar Standard Offer program. The project features 812 rooftop solar panels on a warehouse capable of generating enough electricity to power about 600 homes annually, producing nearly 660,000 kilowatt-hours per year. Solar system owner Radial Power and contractor Axis Solar installed the panels under the program launched less than a year ago. The initiative allows commercial property owners to host solar panels or lease rooftop space to developers, with electricity sold back to Austin Energy. The energy feeds into Austin's renewable energy supply and helps power local homes, including low-income residents through the Community Solar Program.
