Overview: In response to California's energy crisis and the March 2001 Department of Defense call for demand reduction projects, Navy Region Southwest sought ways to reduce energy use in the San Diego metro area. The system is a unique solar electric carport which makes innovative use of an unused asset - an existing parking lot. The solar electric carport generates power for the Navy base while providing shade and protection for over 400 vehicles, specifically for long-term parking for Navy personnel. The electricity generated by the photovoltaic system is a reliable, high quality power supply.
