Cache Creek is taking meaningful steps toward a more sustainable future by installing solar energy systems on several key municipal buildings. Riverside Energy Systems worked with the Village to design and install grid-connected solar arrays on the Community Hall, Fire Hall, and Village Office, helping reduce electricity costs while producing clean, renewable energy for the community.
Together, these systems generate approximately 49,400 kWh of electricity each year, helping offset a large portion of the buildings’ energy use while reducing the municipality’s environmental footprint.
