Apia Airport rooftop photovoltaic energy storage
Upon completion by 2026, the microgrid will feature the largest rooftop solar array in New York City, made up of 13,000 solar modules. At 7.66 MW, also the largest PV array on any United
On airports decarbonisation journey, ACI Asia-Pacific has been promoting the use of renewable energy to airports since 2017. Results from ACI Asia-Pacific Environment Survey 2021 showed that 33% of the respondents implemented onsite solar energy, ranked 3rd in GHG / carbon reduction measures, for those airports with onsite solar energy measures.
Solar PV works best where the electricity can be generated and consumed within nearby proximity. This is one of the central reasons why airports are good locations for solar PV airports are as high energy consumption facilities.
Rooftop solar arrays on U.S. airports have been relatively rare given strict requirements for glare mitigation, making this project an important use case for future on-site renewables at U.S. airports.
Some of the basic studies/assessments airports need to consider while selecting a site for the solar PV plant are- • Availability of space • Availability of solar resource & climatic condition of the site • Site's ability to comply with aviation specific requirements etc. 2.1.
