SALT LAKE CITY — The Veterans Medical Center in Salt Lake City will add solar panels.

Massachusetts-based Ameresco Inc. says it won the contract to install rooftop and ground-based solar panels that will produce hundreds of kilowatts of electricity.

Ameresco says the $6.6 million project will take 10 months to complete.

The VA is complying with a federal law that requires agencies to obtain at least 5 percent of their electricity needs from renewable sources by 2012.
