HELENA, Mont. – The City of Helena will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 22, at Bill Roberts Golf Course to mark the addition of the City’s New Solar Array.

The 50kW Solar Array system is expected to offset electricity usage at Muni’s Sports Grille and the Pro Shop by 80%, saving the City an estimated average of $10,349 a year, with an estimated lifetime savings of $80,087.  In addition to the Solar Array, a solar powered exterior light has been installed at the entrance of the Golf Course, to illuminate the crosswalk, making it safer for pedestrians and staff.

Members of the public and media are invited to attend.
