History
Bombard Renewable Energy, located in Las Vegas, Nevada, is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of MDU Resources Group, Inc.[2] ("MDU"). Bombard Electric, LLC, founded in 1982 and acquired by MDU in 2005, later added the renewable energy division, Bombard Renewable Energy, in 2006. Bombard Renewable Energy has installed more than 70 Megawatts of Solar PV systems in Nevada and nationwide, both in the public and private sectors.[citation needed] In 2018, Bombard was ranked 13th on the Solar Power World's Top 100 Solar Contractors list as measured by kWh installed in 2027 with 235,848.3 kWh installed in 2020.[3] In 2020, Bombard was 300th with 1,488 kWh installed capacity.[4]

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 kWh per year which will save them up to $500 per month from their monthly average energy bill of $5,000.[5]
