CDA Truax Apartments Solar PV
Project Overview
This project will install 440 kW of solar electric (PV) panels on several buildings at the Community Development Divisions (CDA) public housing Truax Campus on the east side of Madison, WI.

The array will be installed by the Engineering Division’s GreenPower program where trainees with little to no electrical skills are provided on-the-job training through solar installations on City buildings.
