Solar PV and Energy Storage for Airports

As global air travel continues to grow, airports face increasing pressure to reduce their carbon footprint while maintaining operational efficiency. Solarsense is a proud member of Airports UK and delivers industry-leading solar energy solutions, helping airports transition to renewable energy, reduce energy costs and achieve sustainability targets.

We recognise that the positive impact on your finances is one of the prime reasons for deciding to turn to solar energy. That’s why our design engineers use industry leading software to accurately predict how much solar energy can be generated, stored and used at your specific premises.

The Benefits Of Solar Panels For Airports

Airports are among the most energy-intensive facilities, requiring vast amounts of power to support terminal operations, airfield lighting, baggage handling systems, and other critical infrastructure.

By integrating renewable energy solutions like solar PV and energy storage, airports can significantly reduce their carbon footprint, comply with stringent environmental regulations, and deliver significant long-term cost savings.

 

Energy Cost Savings and ROI

Airports consume enormous amounts of energy to power terminals, lighting, security systems, and other critical infrastructure. By integrating solar energy, airports can generate their own electricity, reducing dependence on the grid and significantly lowering energy costs.

 

Reduction in Carbon Emissions

With growing pressure to cut emissions, airports must adopt cleaner energy solutions. Solar power provides a sustainable alternative, drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions and helping airports meet stringent environmental targets.

 

Enhanced Energy Security and Reliability

Investing in solar panels ensures a consistent and reliable energy supply, minimising the risk of power disruptions and enhancing the airport’s overall resilience.

Solar Carports For Airports

Solar carports are a multi-purpose structure that provides shelter for vehicles whilst generating renewable energy to be used on-site and (or) used to charge electric vehicles.

Solar carports are gaining popularity with organisations that want to visibly promote their dedication to sustainability. They can increase land value and provide a way to generate income by billing staff and visitors to charge their EVs.

 

Increase on-site energy generation

Create additional space for solar PV panels and generate an ROI from otherwise unproductive space.

 

Create a new revenue stream

Bill staff and (or) visitors to charge their electric vehicles.

 

Make a statement on sustainability

Visibly promote your green initiatives and improve corporate reputation.

 

Create a superior parking experience

Protect staff, visitors and their vehicles from the elements whilst generating renewable energy.
