The company will install the PV system throughout the site, including car port and roof-mounted arrays and also implement a building-integrated system to help reduce demand from the local utility grid.
Eaton, which provides strategic coordination of all the electrical equipment, design and installation services required to install a functioning solar power system, has also recently forged an $8m contract to supply electrical products and services for the San Antonio Military Medical Center on the Fort Sam Houston Army base in Texas.
As per the contract, it will supply hybrid electric power systems for 35 fuel-efficient shuttle buses purchased by the US General Services Administration for use on US military bases and providing energy conservation at the United States Postal Service (USPS) Eastern Facilities Service Office at postal facilities in North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and South Carolina.
Paul Cody, vice president and general manager of electrical service and systems division at Eaton, said: “Eaton is now fully engaged in the sustainable energy market. This major project will combine our expertise in electrical components and power distribution with comprehensive solar power system design and installation.”
