The world's most powerful solar airport

With the popularity of solar energy and reduce costs, which acts as an increasingly important role in energy conservation, energy-hungry as the 24-hour operation - airports, except through other means to reduce energy consumption and emission reduction , the most common is to build solar power project. Then airports around the world, in the end someone high solar capacity it?

1, Shenzhen Airport in China

In November 2014, two 10MW solar power project officially started Shenzhen Airport. When this project is completed, with a total installed capacity of solar power will reach the airport 20MW, the annual power generation of about 20GWh, thus awarded as the world's largest airport aviation airports scale solar energy. Future, its solar power will account for over 10% of the airport's electricity load.


The first phase of the project's solar panels will be installed in the main installation of new cargo terminal at the airport bonded logistics park and aviation logistics park, the second phase project of the solar panels.

2, Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia


3, Colorado, Denver International Airport
 
In 2010, the total installed capacity of solar Denver International Airport reached 8MW. The airport first set in 2008 2MW solar power system, and then set 1.6MW solar power system in early 2010, the last in September 2010 to develop a new 4.4MW solar power generation facilities. Thus, the total installed capacity of solar 8MW, 6% of the airport to meet the demand for electricity.


4, Athens International Airport



2011, Athens International Airport invested 20 million euros of 8MW solar projects put into use. Its solar power project covers 160,000 square meters, generating 11 million degrees per year to meet 20 percent of the airport's electricity demand will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 10,000 tons. Also worth mentioning is that its solar power system is comprised of Suntech completed within six months of construction.


5, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in United States

February 2012, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in three positions installed on the roof of a total of 5.4MW of solar panels to meet the airport's car rental center, two parking and toll plazas 51% of electricity demand, will save $ 4.7 million over the next 20 years. It is estimated that this solar project will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 5500 tons per year. Its solar panels installed by SunPower.


6,Shanghai Hongqiao Airport in China


In 2010, the Shanghai Hongqiao Airport Terminal 2 West freight station roofing installed capacity for solar modules 2.848MW, the annual average grid electricity is about 2.77GWh, annual savings for the grid of about 987 tons of standard coal.

7, Tokyo Haneda International Airport


2010 Tokyo Haneda International Airport began to solar power. Its power scale 2MW, annual power generation capacity 2GWh, can reduce the amount of 850 tons of carbon dioxide annually. Its approximately 28,000 square meters of solar panels set up in the Airport International Cargo Terminal top, about 10% of electricity consumption in the building supply.

8, California Fresno airport

In 2011, the Fresno airport solar plan into effect. Its on 9.5 acres (approximately 38,445 square meters) of land to install a total of 11,700 solar panels, with a total capacity of 2MW. 40 percent of its electricity for the airport daily electricity consumption.

9, Shanghai Pudong International Airport in China


November 2014, the Pudong airport completed 1.7MW solar power systems. The project is building integrated solar energy project, covering 15,000 square meters, is located between the airport's Terminal 1 and 2, will be used to meet the needs of airport parking and handling equipment, but also for airport outdoor air conditioning equipment shade.

10, Hawaii airport



In October 2008, announced the construction of the airport in Hawaii 779KW solar power system, by Hoku Solar company responsible for the design, construction and installation.
