CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - The Nevada National Guard has kicked off a $17 million solar energy project.
Construction will begin early next year on carports that will cover about half of a four-acre parking lot at the Office of the Adjutant General complex in Carson City.
The carports will house solar panels that are expected to generate up to 60 percent of the energy needed to power the complex.
On sunny days the panels could produce about 140 percent of the
complex's needs between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Two other sites that will be part of the project are the Las Vegas Readiness Center and the Floyd Edsall Training Center near North Las Vegas.
The guard held a ground breaking ceremony for the project on Monday.
