### **The U.S. Army’s Commitment to Solar Energy**
The U.S. Army is doubling down on its solar strategy with two ambitious 6.5 MW solar arrays at the Fort Johnson Army installation in Louisiana. Expected to be completed by Q1 of 2025, these projects will utilize fixed-tilt racking systems — a reliable and cost-effective solution for large-scale solar installations. These arrays are just a slice of the Army’s larger push for 100% carbon pollution-free electricity across its installations by 2030, an initiative stemming from an executive order aimed at significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
These projects represent more than energy savings; they reflect a shift in how the Army approaches its operational resilience
