Sharp USA is going to be able to supply its solar modules to government purchasers directly, decided the US General Services Administration. What this means is that the company's products have been chosen after rigorous testing to be supplied to federal, state and government agencies purchasing access to commercial suppliers through the US GSA. The convenience for the purchasing entities is direct purchase and delivery of products at the most favorable prices. Needless to say, this kind of arrangement benefits the suppliers as well, as they now have a relatively secure ordering pipeline.

With the increased interest of government agencies in renewable energy sources, Sharp is looking at a few busy years in the near future. US government agencies, even the military, are on a serious quest to reduce energy dependence on fossil fuels, and and their carbon footprint.
