Technical FAQs 4

Why do airports need solar energy?

Solar is one of the most convenient source of renewable energy for Airports. The plain topography, presence of flat building roofs and nature of Airport operational requirements favors solar PV as compared to other sources of renewable energy. Solar PV projects are also a visible means to demonstrate the implementation of environmental policies.

How do airports choose a solar PV plant?

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.

Can solar power transform airports?

The transformation of airports through solar power goes beyond an environmental initiative—it demonstrates the potential of large-scale solar installations. By incorporating solar energy, airports can achieve significant energy cost reductions, with estimates ranging from 40-60%.

Are solar power systems paving the way for greener airports?

As airports around the world embrace solar energy, they are proving that large-scale renewable power systems are vital for the future of airport infrastructure. These advancements are paving the way for greener, more efficient airports globally, showcasing the transformative power of solar energy.
