Solar Energy in Carson City Wastewater Reclamation The Wastewater Reclamation Facitily in Carson City, Nevada is now using solar energy, using photovoltaic solar panels, for its electric needs. The panels are expected to annually generate about 540,000 kilowatt hours of electricity enough to power 60 homes. This shift to solar energy will reduce the city’s carbon emissions by approximately 400 tons per year. Solar Energy in Western Nevada College Two hundred kilowatt solar panels were installed at Western Nevada College (WNC) in Carson City to reduce the college’s power bills About 360,000-kilowatt hours of electricity can be produced annually from these photovoltaic solar panels. This is the largest solar project that’s been installed at a Nevada college.
