Outreach
In 2009 Bombard donated and installed a 3 kilowatt Solar PV system at the Shade Tree Shelter in Las Vegas, consisting of 14 solar photovoltaic modules. The system was installed on the roof of Noah's animal house, The Shade Tree's animal shelter. The shelter will produce about 6000 or more Kilowatts per year which will save them up to $500 per month from their monthly average energy bill of $5,000.
Major Projects
In 2007, Bombard installed 11% of all grid-tied Solar Photovoltaic systems nationwide, to include an installation of 14 megawatts Nellis Solar Power Plant that generates about 25 million kilowatt-hrs of electricity and is located in the Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas.
