SkyBuilt Power Wins $2.1M Contract to Provide
Solar/Wind Power Stations for the US Navy
October 2011—SkyBuilt Power announced
today that it had been selected to provide rapidly deployable
renewable power stations to the US Navy. SkyBuilt will be a
subcontractor to CSC Applied Technology Group for NAVAIR’s tracking systems under the SureTrak IDIQ. SkyBuilt’s $2.1M contract will utilize SkyBuilt’s expertise in advanced technology, rapidly deployable solar and wind power for the harshest environmental conditions on and off-grid, and will use solar and wind power to reduce or eliminate the need for fuel. These systems will reduce maintenance time and other operating costs and provide a more reliable solution than fuel-based systems.
