Some 11,200 solar heaters were installed in Puerto Rico during 2011 and 2012, following the injection of more than $20 million in American Recovery Act and Reinvestment Act funds into local product manufacturers, Resident Commissioner Pedro Pierluisi and Energy Affairs Administration Executive Director Luis Bernal said Tuesday.
Davis, CA-based Blue Oak Energy and Point 2 Structural Engineers will lead the construction of the $50 million solar projects the U.S. Coast Guard will roll out at its Borinquen Air Station in Aguadilla and the Río Bayamon Housing Center in San Juan.
