County supervisors approved a $22 million package of contracts Tuesday to buy solar power that is expected to save $4.5 million over 20 years.
“We wanted to save the most amount of money for the taxpayers and this seems the best way to it,” said Supervisor Sharon Bronson.
The board unanimously approved 11 contracts with Tucson-based Solon Development to build, install and maintain solar-covered parking structures at several county facilities.
