SPI Solar, a vertically integrated photovoltaic (PV) solar developer, has secured a contract from BLT Enterprises to design and build a 400kW DC distributed generation photovoltaic (PV) solar energy facility (SEF) in the US.

The SEF will help power operations at Volkswagen's US Test Center California which encompasses a Technical Center and an Emissions Laboratory located in Oxnard, California.

BLT Enterprises affiliate is currently developing the 63,500 square-foot emissions testing and power train development facility.

The SEF being designed by SPI will utilize a mix of rooftop and carport structures to host the onsite solar array.

The center will be used by various brands within the Volkswagen Group which includes Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley and Bugatti.

In January 2011, SPI completed a 398kW system at BLT's Fremont, California waste-recovery operation facility.

BLT chief development and legal officer Rob Solomon said the solar energy facility helps to fulfill a major part of that mission.

SPI expects to commence construction of the SEF in the first quarter of this year.
