Sec. 8274. Acquisition of systems

    The program established by section 8272 of this title shall provide 
for the acquisition of photovoltaic solar electric systems and 
associated storage capability by the Secretary for their use by Federal 
agencies, and for the acquisition of such systems and associated 
capability by Federal agencies for their own use in cases where the 
authority to make such acquisition has been delegated to the agency 
involved by the Secretary. The acquisition of photovoltaic solar 
electric systems shall be at an annual level substantial enough to allow 
use of low-cost production techniques by suppliers of such systems. The 
Secretary (or other Federal agency acting under delegation from the 
Secretary) is authorized to make such acquisitions through the use of 
multiyear contracts. Authority under this part to enter into acquisition 
contracts shall be only to the extent as may be provided in advance in 
appropriation Acts.
