Instead, county and jail officials unveiled the site's new roof-mounted solar array Tuesday. When the project is completed in July, it will produce up to 500 kilowatts of electricity at a time, making it the largest solar energy generator of its kind. That's enough energy to provide between 15 and 20 percent of the electricity needed to run the facility, which is the third largest jail in California. This system will save millions of dollars in electrical costs over its lifespan," said Daniel Shugar, executive vice president of PowerLight Corp., which manufactures the panels.

The system is expected to last about 30 years. During that time, the county will also save the equvilant of about 62,000 barrels of oil, said Alameda county General Services Agency Director Aki Nakato.
