Mission Solar Energy is proud to highlight our involvement in the 790-kilowatt rooftop solar installation at Fort Lesley J. McNair in Washington, D.C., completed in 2017. This groundbreaking project underscores our commitment to advancing clean energy at one of the nation’s most important military facilities, home to the National Defense University.
The rooftop system spans four buildings and was designed by Suntrail Energy and installed by John E. Kelly & Sons Electrical Construction. It incorporates Mission Solar’s MSE PERC 72 modules, which are designed for durability and high efficiency in large-scale applications. Our solar panels are American-manufactured in San Antonio, TX, and meet Buy American Act requirements, making them a perfect fit for government installations like this one.
This installation isn’t just about clean energy—it’s about energy resilience in mission-critical environments. The integration of solar power into Fort McNair’s operations helps reduce long-term energy costs and supports the U.S. military’s goal of energy independence.
Through this project, we’re contributing to the military’s sustainability goals while providing clean, reliable energy that can stand up to the demands of high-security, high-stakes environments.
For Mission Solar Energy, this project is more than just an installation—it’s an opportunity to support the U.S. military while contributing to the growing demand for sustainable energy in both commercial and government sectors. Many of our employees are veterans, and we take immense pride in delivering American-made solar solutions for such an important cause.
As of 2017, this installation has been a model of success, and we continue to work on projects like this to help make the world a more sustainable place, one rooftop at a time.
