This 302 kW photovoltaic array was completed recently at the Southern Arizona VA Health Care System. The single-axis, tracker-mounted system tilts during the day to follow the sun for maximum generating efficiency.
Tucson's veterans hospital is going solar fast, thanks to federal economic stimulus funding.
A 302-kilowatt, sun-tracking photovoltaic array was recently completed at the Southern Arizona VA Health Care System.
And the VA hospital has announced plans to build a 2.9-megawatt, carport-mounted system that is called the largest of its kind in the U.S.
REC Solar Inc., a major provider of large-scale solar systems based in San Luis Obispo, Calif., built the roughly $1.35 million solar tracker array and will begin work on the carport system early next year.
The 2.9 MW carport system, expected to cost about $14 million, will cover seven separate parking areas to become, in aggregate, the largest carport solar system in the country, the company said
