Fergus Electric Cooperative (FEC) in Lewistown, Montana selected Bozeman-based solar company, Independent Power Systems, via a competitive bid process, to install their first ‘Solar Garden’, a 107-kilowatt ground-mounted solar PV system.
Solar garden panels were sold to FEC’s customers on a first come first serve basis. FEC customers could purchase as many panels as they desired (at a cost of $595 each) and are credited on their power bill each month for the retail energy value the panels produce.
IPS installed the system summer 2017; it has been operational as of August 2017.
FEC administration reports: The system is performing to specification and all concerned are pleased with how it came out.
