| SolarWorld Solar Panels Power Advanced Space and Military Communications Center 16:50 09.02.12 Project contractor earns Navys top recognition for construction safety, quality
HILLSBORO, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) complex, a headquarters for high-tech military command, communications and surveillance in San Diego, now hosts 1.3 megawatts of solar panels from SolarWorld, the largest U.S. solar manufacturer for more than 35 years. The system, the Navys largest contiguous rooftop solar array, is starting its first full year of generating electricity. [...] SolarWorld and its predecessors have provided solar panels to the military for more than 30 years. From 1987 to 2004, the U.S. Coast Guard used solar panels made by SolarWorld precursors to power tens of thousands of navigational buoys on inter-coastal waterways and along both coasts. More recently, SolarWorld solar panels have powered installations at U.S. military bases at home and overseas, including the naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twenty Nine Palms, Calif., Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora, Colo., and Apra Harbor Naval Base in Guam. |
