TORONTO and KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Solar Alliance Energy Inc. (‘Solar Alliance’ or the ‘Company’) (TSX-V: SOLR, OTCQB: SAENF) is pleased to announce it has signed a contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District to install a solar system (the “Project”) at the Lake Cumberland Resource Manager’s Office and Maintenance Facility located in Somerset, Kentucky. The project consists of a 52-kilowatt (“kW”) roof mount solar array and a 51-kW carport solar array with a total capital cost of US $340,000.
“Solar Alliance is proud to be working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on this solar project in Kentucky,” said CEO Myke Clark. “The combined roof mount and carport arrays will provide lower cost electricity and resiliency to the Lake Cumberland facility. This is the first solar project Solar Alliance will build for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and we believe it will provide a strong example of the benefits of solar energy for a variety of government entities. The demand for solar continues to accelerate at an incredible pace and our team is committed to providing quality solar options to businesses, utilities, and government entities such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Solar Alliance remains on track for a record year in commercial solar and we are now building out our backlog of projects into 2023,” concluded Clark.
Solar Alliance will design, engineer, and install a turnkey project that includes a carport utility grid-tied solar system for the Nashville District at the Lake Cumberland Resource Management Office and a separate utility grid-tied roof mounted solar system for the Maintenance Facility. The Project will also include trenching and conduit installation for a future electric vehicle charging station integrated into the carport solar system, making the structure “EV Charger Ready.”
This Project, which will be installed in early 2023, builds on Solar Alliance’s growing backlog of contracted projects in the U.S. Southeast. The Company’s contracted backlog as of the end of Q2 was $4,300,000, which is expected to convert into revenue before the end of 2022. This includes current construction on the 1-megawatt (“MW”) project for the Knoxville Utilities Board, the 500-kW project for Louisville Gas and Electric and Kentucky and several additional commercial projects in the 60-100 kW range. In addition, Solar Alliance will complete the installation of two commercial 500 kW projects before the end of 2022.
