A unit of NextEra will build one ground-mounted fixed-tilt PV array, and three carport and 10 rooftop solar systems. They will be comprised of 71,000 Sharp solar modules and reach full operation by the end of 2016.
The Navy will purchase all of the power under a 25-year agreement. NextEra will own and operate the solar facilities.
Each branch of the US military has made commitments to procure and produce 1GW of renewable energy at their permanent installations (and/or on 65,000 sq km of Department of Defense land opened up for development).
