FGC Webinar: Federal Procurement of Sustainable Photovoltaics (PV)

Sustainability Leadership Standard for PV Modules and Inverters

Is your federal facility looking to install photovoltaic (PV) solar panels? Or are you planning to upgrade your current PV system? In this webinar, you’ll learn about a new American National Standard Institute dubbed Sustainability Leadership Standard for PV Modules. Federal facilities and Federal Green Challenge participants will get an overview of what is covered in the standard and how federal procurement rules & incentives can leverage it to ensure sustainable PV modules and inverter procurement.
