Ann Arbor to get largest solar array in Michigan
Well, it's about time. A serious investment in solar (aka renewable) energy is in the cards for Ann Arbor through a deal with DTE. Now, how about working on planes for all of SE Michigan? Excerpt: "The agreement between Ann Arbor and DTE would allow the utility company to use about 14 acres of the city-owned airport property. DTE would be responsible for paying for the solar panels and their installation and maintenance. It's a 20-year agreement, with 10 one-year renewal options. DTE would pay the city $38 per kilowatt of system capacity, which is estimated to translate to at least $41,800 per year initially, and up to $81,700 per year with full implementation."
