Workers from Every Detail Solar Cleaning use a robot to wash the solar panels at Huntington Central Park. Owner Kevin Sparks said the job takes about three days.

In 2011, Huntington Beach partnered with SunEdison to install carport-like solar panels at three city facilities – a project that is expected to save the city nearly $1.6 million over 20 years.

The panels at City Hall, the Central Library and at the City Yard provide clean solar power to these facilities and also double as shaded carports.

While the installation did not cost the city anything – nearly $6 million of the project came from state bonds issued directly to SunEdison – Huntington Beach is responsible for paying for the energy output of the system, which is similar to buying power from a utility company.

Installing the carport panels is the equivalent of planting 508 acres of forest or taking 455 cars off the road, the city previously reported.
