US renewable energy focussed consultancy Shaka has won a contract from Vergona - Bowersox Electric to install 10kW photovoltaic (PV) systems onto school rooftops in Florida.

 

The deal follows an $8m award to Vergona made earlier this year by the Florida Solar Energy Center and US Department of Energy through the SunSmart E-Shelter programme. Vergona has finalised planning for this contract and is now moving to the construction phase.

Mike Vergona, vice president of Vergona-Bowersox, said, 'We are pleased to be commencing on the final contract stages for installation and project management with the Shaka team. By adding the expertise that Shaka offers to our existing installation and project management infrastructure, we expect to finish installations at the remaining schools in the SunSmart project within the next ninety days.'

James Scott, CEO of Shaka, added, 'We are excited to be joining the Vergona-Bowersox team on this worthy project, and we are looking forward to continuing our relationship with them far beyond the SunSmart project. As we continue to develop our solar market in the eastern US, we are proud to say that we have aligned ourselves with an experienced and dedicated engineering firm that can provide many of our engineering needs in this region.'

At the start of last month Shaka purchased Classic Conservatories and Solar as part of its drive to create a new cleantech business.
