County weighs solar panel for jail water heating
Douglas County commissioners consider installing a thermal solar panel on the jail roof at 3601 E. 25th St. to cut natural gas costs. A 200 square foot system could cost about $10,000 after rebates and save about $1,230 yearly, $18,750 over 15 years, with a smaller 100 square foot option also possible.
