Pentagon to install rooftop solar panels as Biden pushes for clean energy

The Defence Department will install solar panels on the Pentagon, part of the Biden administration’s plan to promote clean energy and reestablish the federal government as a sustainability leader.

The Pentagon is one of 31 government sites that are receiving $104 million in Energy Department grants that are expected to double the amount of carbon-free electricity at federal facilities and create 27 megawatts of clean-energy capacity while leveraging more than $361 million in private investment, the Energy Department said.
