Texas Solar Power earns $180,000 in stimulus funds

Texas Solar Power Co. received two, stimulus-funded contracts worth


$180,000 to install photovoltaic solar systems in national wildlife


refuges.


The contract awarded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will be used


for projects in the Buffalo Lake National Wildlife Refuge south of


Amarillo and the San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge.


The agreement is part of four sourced from U.S. Recovery and


Reinvestment Act meant to generate electricity for the buildings on


refuges, according to the Wildlife Service.


In August, Texas Solar completed “SunFlowers — An Electric Garden,”


the city’s largest public art project. The electric garden comprises


15 sunflower sculptures that collect solar energy during the day and


illuminate at night. They extend for nearly 540 feet and tower 18 to 24


feet above a Mueller development’s hike and bike trail. They produce


more than 18,000 kilowatt hours of power each year.
