The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to the Forest County Potawatomi Community (FCPC) for the installation of approximately 1 MW of solar photovoltaic (PV) facilities (roof and ground mounted at 8 locations) on Tribal lands in Forest County, Wisconsin and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Solar PV installations would range in size from approximately 8.0 kW roof-mounted systems up to a 280 kW roof-mounted system planned at the Potawatomi Bingo Casino. Installations would use standard system components of solar modules, inverters, and racking structures with each building having a system sized appropriately for its energy needs. Performance of the installed PV systems would be measured and monitored. Energy savings would be verified and economic analysis for each PV system site would be performed.
