Microgrid Solar to install solar panels, wind turbines at US Army location
Microgrid Solar will install solar panels and wind turbines at Fort Riley in Kansas, under a $2.6m contract with US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
Microgrid will deploy 510KW of solar panels on rooftops of parking lots and five vertical axis wind turbines around the Brigade Headquarters building.
The project is expected to be completed in 2013. Its building will be certified by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
The project will also have a geothermal field to meet the heating and cooling needs of the building and a solar-thermal water heating system.
Microgrid CEO Rick Hunter said the project was being designed to meet energy goals as well as to demonstrate the usage of renewable energy at military bases.
The US Army plans to make huge investments in renewable energy integration over the next decade.
