Big Changes are coming to the Sun Prairie Family Aquatic Center...
The City of Sun Prairie Family Aquatic Center (FAC) is undergoing a major renovation to improve facility energy usage, remodel the bathhouse, and increase its offerings. Unique trees that produce solar energy will be installed on the pool deck as part of the renovation project. These 25' clean energy trees will provide over 700 sq ft of shade to pool users and serve as Sun Prairie's first public-facing solar PV system. Each solar tree will be outfitted with colorful LED lights for night swims, outlets for charging phones and laptops, and a QR code linking to real-time solar energy production. The solar trees are expected to offset 35% of the FAC's annual energy usage. During the off-season, the clean energy produced by the trees will be sold back to the grid.
