Section 3 – ECM Descriptions & Detailed Scope of Work 14 Confidential and Proprietary ECM 11.01 – Install Solar PV and Energy Storage System
Existing Conditions
Multiple City facilities in Commerce are currently served entirely by grid-supplied electricity with no existing on-site solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. The facilities experience ongoing utility costs and are subject to rising energy rates.
The existing electrical infrastructure consists of standard utility service connections, distribution panels, and metering configurations typical of municipal buildings. Roofs and/or available site areas are suitable for solar installation but are currently not utilized for energy generation.
As a result, the sites rely solely on utility power, presenting an opportunity to offset energy consumption, reduce operating costs, and improve long-term energy sustainability through the installation of solar PV systems.
General Intent
The intent of this measure is to install a solar photovoltaic (PV) system at the Teen Center (5107 Astor Ave., Commerce, CA 90040) to offset utility energy consumption and reduce long-term operating costs.
This approach is intended to efficiently utilize available space and provide long-term energy cost savings while supporting the City’s sustainability goals.
ECM Benefits
The installation of solar PV system at the Teen Center will reduce grid electricity consumption and provide long-term utility cost savings. The systems will help stabilize energy expenses by offsetting exposure to rising utility rates while delivering predictable energy production.
As part of the solar photovoltaic improvements, a public-facing energy production display monitor will be installed within the Teen Center to promote energy awareness and sustainability education.
The display will communicate real-time solar generation data and environmental impact metrics to visitors and facility users.
