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.”

    This sixteenth edition of Photovoltaics International marks four years of production of the quarterly journal. As always, our focus is on efficiency and quality improvement and cost reduction in manufacturing. As 2012 rolls along, companies are falling by the wayside due to supply and demand issues, ASP declines and drastic governmental subsidy cuts. A clear picture of 2012 is offered through papers from the likes of TÜV Rheinland, Fraunhofer ISE, SEMI PV Group and EPIA, amongst others.
