From the meeting
On Nov. 9, 2026, staff presented an update on town energy use and the July 23, 2026 Solar Feasibility Study by Pisgah Energy Inc. and NV5.
The study covered five town-owned facilities and found 156 kWdc of total solar PV capacity with an estimated $689,313 project budget and a 30% federal direct pay incentive of $197,589. The report said solar projects must be placed in service by Dec. 31, 2027 to qualify for direct pay, and that some roofs may need replacement or remediation before installation.
Staff said RFPs for construction would follow later design work.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Town of Hillsborough issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Town of Hillsborough's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Town of Hillsborough before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
