Diversified power management company Eaton Corporation (ETN) recently announced that it will design and install the largest Solar Photovoltaic (PV) System in New Mexico for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Health Care System.
The company said that it received a $20 million contract to install a 3.2 megawatt (MW) of solar cell system in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The project will provide turn-key solution for VA, including car port and roof-mounted PV arrays.

This is a major project for Eaton, which will combine its expertise in electrical components and power distribution with comprehensive solar power system design and installation.
