美國當地時間7月26日，內華達太陽能公司已經獲得了一個1.3MW的太陽能光伏項目合同，為內華達里諾市進行太陽能項目建設。項目包括1MW的固定傾斜，地面安裝項目（代替原來水電站的項目），還有295KW的屋頂安裝，地面安裝在里諾的五個其他地區。

該太陽能項目不會額外動用里諾市資金。籌款是由NV 能源，聯邦稅收為太陽能電池矩陣提供的。估計這些太陽能安裝矩陣將會未來的20年節約2500萬美元，并且在設計，材料加工，施工方面會創造出60多個就業崗位。

今年10月份，其中將會有一個施工項目將會開始建設。

Nevada Solar Works LLC, a partnership between Q&D Construction, CleanPath Renewables and Alternative Energy Solutions, has won a contract to build 1.3 MW of solar photovoltaic projects for the City of Reno. The projects include a 1 MW fixed-tilt, ground-mount system at the Reno-Stead Water Treatment Plant and 295 kW of fixed-tilt, rooftop and ground-mount installations at five other locations throughout the city.

The projects are being built at no additional cost to the City of Reno. Funding is being provided by a combination of rebates from NV Energy, federal tax incentives and payments for the energy produced by the array. It is estimated that these arrays will save the city $2.5 million over the next 20 years, while generating more than 60 jobs in design, engineering, materials fabrication and construction, CleanPath Renewables says.

Construction on the first of the seven projects is scheduled to begin this October.
