Glendora replaces aged roof at teen center, adds solar panels

A project to place solar panels on the Glendora Teen Center has been completed. The panels will produce enough solar power to meet 85 percent of the center's electricity needs, according to Glendora Public Works Director Dave Davies.

It was the largest solar panel project the city has ever done, Davies said.

The project also included installing a new roof and four carports at the center.

"I didn't want to put new panels on a 10-year-old roof," Davies said.

The panels were funded through a buy-back program in which the solar panel company finances their installation and the city pays it back through energy savings.

The cost of constructing the new roof and carport, which amounted to $200,000, were largely paid for through stimulus funds for energy projects. An additional $38,400 came from the city's capital improvement funds,he believes the fire started after the lift's Wholesale pet supplies blew, according to city documents.

The city originally planned to develop an energy-saving solar project at Pompei Park, and applied for a grant for that site. But city officials learned that project was not economically feasible because the park already gets better energy rates, Davies said.

The project had one setback when the floor of the teen center gym suffered about $20,000 worth of damage during construction, Davies said. The city will seek repayment for the damage from the construction company, but the facility will remain open despite the needed repairs, Davies said.where he teaches TMJ in the Central Academy of Fine Arts.
