MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Dec. 8 (UPI) -- High-gain solar power arrays are being installed on two U.S. military bases to demonstrate performance, upgradability and quick deployment.
Skyline Solar of California said the contract from the U.S. Department of Defense is worth $1.58 million.
"The competitive bid process and the resulting (Defense) contract validate Skyline Solar's ability to deliver proven performance, upgradability and rapid scale," said Skyline Chief Executive Officer Thomas Rohrs. "The projects on U.S. bases will demonstrate the unique effectiveness of Skyline's HGS technology in helping to meet the energy needs of our military and government institutions."
In an effort to promote U.S. energy independence, the Defense Department launched the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program to promote innovative, cost-effective environmental technologies through demonstrations on Department of Defense sites. Skyline Solar has been awarded an ESTCP project in a competitive solicitation intended to identify technologies that solve key Defense Department needs and have the highest potential for widespread deployment.
The company didn't identify the domestic bases where the arrays will be installed.
The estimated combined output for the projects is 436 megawatt hours per year, it said.
