近日，美国海军为寻求美国五大州海军水陆战队的太阳能电池板安装和开发签署了一亿美元的合作合同。
对于美军来说，使用绿色能源技术已不再是新鲜话题了。而且最近，陆军在其车辆上也已经开始开发和应用氢燃料电池技术，同时也使用了惠普公司为美军开发的专用太阳能"Dick Tracy-like" 手表。
追溯至2002年，美海军已经开始使用太阳能，当时其在加州的圣迭戈安装了一个750千瓦的太阳能系统，当时，这被认为是州级别最大的太阳能系统。而该系统每天亦可为935个家庭供电。
今年1月初，海军也在夏威夷珍珠港基地安装了5个太阳能屋顶.目前，海军正在致力于可再生能源的发展，其斥资1亿美元签署了5个合同分别在科罗拉多州，新墨西哥州，内华达州，犹他州和亚利桑那州的海军海陆战队进行太阳能系统安装。在这五个合作中，其中一个是无限期不定量供货合同，允许合作公司开发太阳能电力系统。而该公司是一家为政府和商业客户提供全球性的管理和技术支持服务的AECOM Technology Corporation。
U.S. Navy Pours $100M USD Into Clean Solar Energy
The U.S. Navy has committed $100 million in contracts for the development and installation of solar arrays at facilities in five U.S. states for both the Navy and Marine Corps.
The U.S. Armed Forces are not new to the application of greener technology. Recently, the Army has began developing and applying hydrogen fuel cell technology to their vehicles and also has HP developing a "Dick Tracy-like" watch that uses solar panels specifically for the U.S. military.
The Navy has been using solar power as far back as 2002, when they installed a 750-kilowatt solar system in San Diego, California, which was considered the largest federal solar system.
The system could power 935 homes during the day. As early as January of this year, the Navy also applied solar energy five rooftops at the Pearl Harbor base in Hawaii.Now, the Navy is taking their dedication to renewable energy a step further by spending $100 million on five contracts that will apply solar arrays to facilities in Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah and Arizona for the Navy and the Marine Corps.
One of the five firms that won contracts for this operation is AECOM Technology Corporation, a global provider of management and technical support services for both government and commercial clients, was selected by the U.S. Navy to fulfill an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract, allowing AECOM to develop the solar power systems.
