by jbs070910 e5 — July 12, 2010—Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation recently announced it will design and install a turn-key solar photovoltaic (PV) System at the Albuquerque, New Mexico, Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Health Care System. It will reportedly be the largest PV system in New Mexico.
The scope of the $20 million contract includes designing and installing a 3.2 megawatt PV system throughout the site, including car port and roof-mounted arrays, as well as implementing a building-integrated system to help reduce demand from the local utility grid.
Eaton offers a spectrum of solutions designed to reduce energy consumption and leave a smaller footprint on the environment. By managing solar power through turn-key services and support, electrical balance of systems solutions and hydraulic positioning systems, Eaton provides strategic coordination of all the electrical equipment, design and installation services required to install a functioning solar power system.
This contract is one of several recent agreements that Eaton has reached with government organizations, including $8 million in electrical products and services for the San Antonio Military Medical Center on the Fort Sam Houston Army base in Texas, and providing energy conservation for United States Postal Service (USPS) facilities in North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and South Carolina.
