SolarWorld has produced solar panels for installation in the Department of Veterans Affairs’ 2.6-megawatt solar facilities.
Efficient Energy of Tennessee performed engineering and construction tasks for the solar systems at the Wichita, Kansas-based Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center and the Big Spring, Texas-based West Texas VA Health Center, SolarWorld said Wednesday.
CivicSolar also serves as the project’s distributor.
“We know that solar can reduce the amount of fuel and fuel convoys in theater and therefore save lives as well as curb our needs for foreign fossil fuels,†said Ardes Johnson, SolarWorld U.S. vice president for sales.
