The Chet Holifield Federal Building in Laguna Niguel, California is currently undergoing a 914kW solar PV installation due to a contract between Independent Energy Solutions and the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). This is the first utility-scale PV project for GSA and once completed, should be the second largest PV installation in Orange County.

IES chief operating officer, George Gisel, said, “Because this is an ARRA project, we’re using all ‘made-in-the-USA’ components. The 3,808 silicon PV modules are produced by Solarworld in Camarillo, California, the inverters come from Advanced Energy / PV Powered in Oregon and the roof mounting system is manufactured by Sunlink in California.”

With funding coming from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), the project is expected to generate more than 1.4 million kWh of electricity annually and used as a case study and reference point by the GSA for future solar projects.
