SkyBuilt Power has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Army to provide rapidly deployable renewable energy power stations for Afghanistan. The contract provides for both products and services. System details are not being released at this time.
‘These patented systems can reduce the threat from [improvised explosive devices] by reducing the need for fuel convoys, while saving operating expenses, maintenance and spare parts required with diesel generators,’ says David Muchow, SkyBuilt's president and CEO.
SkyBuilt is a product- and system-integration company for advanced power systems. The company provides deployable, hybrid renewable energy power stations. These systems can be fixed or mobile, on or off grid. The systems use any kind of renewable energy, including wind, solar and biomass.
The rapidly deployable systems are designed for military uses as well as telecommunications, intelligence, disaster relief and reconstruction.
