71 kWp of solar approved for Humboldt's water plant.
Monday night, the City Council voted unanimously for the install — three rows of ground-mounted panels behind the plant, on city land that wasn't being used for anything else.
Most of what's going into this project is American-made — including all 124 solar panels and the steel for the mounting structure. That earns Humboldt the Domestic Content bonus, lifting the federal tax credit from 30% to a full 40% of project value.
Equipment is already on order. Construction starts as soon as Evergy approves the interconnection.
