The American General Services Administration (GSA) has awarded Borrego Solar Systems a contract that allows it to provide its solar installation services to federal agencies.
The designer, installer, financier of grid-tied solar PV claims its installations are already in demand from the US Department of Defence. The DoD is expected to continue to increase spending on renewable energy, reaching US$10 billion annually by 2030, according to Pike Research. The GSA contract win will help bolster Borrego Solar’s growing federal portfolio, which includes a nearly 1MW solar project at the Point Loma Navy Base in San Diego bay and a 3.4 MW project at Edwards Air Force Base.
Borrego Solar CEO Mike Hall said, “Solar energy is a smart investment for the federal government, and we look forward to helping more agencies reduce their energy consumption and achieve energy independence through our financing, design and installation services.”
