Lend Lease and SolarCity's SolarStrong initiative, which plans to provide solar electricity for up to 120,000 US military homes, has announced its newest projects. The program will develop solar systems at Lend Lease-managed Air Force communities at the Tierra Vista at Los Angeles Air Force Base and Colorado’s Peterson and Schriever Air Force Base communities.
SolarCity will engineer, install and maintain the solar systems at all three AFB locations. The program is anticipated to produce over 6.4 million kWh of electricity per year from 18,000 solar panels. “This latest project allows us to continue raising the bar when it comes to modern, sustainable solutions for our residents,” said Simon Muir, VP and director of Solar Services, Lend Lease. “We are committed to finding ways to meet the energy challenges of our lifetime and helping the Defense Department, currently the largest energy consumer in the United States, meet its goal of having 25% of its overall energy consumption derived from clean, renewable sources by 2025. This is another big step toward that direction.”
