ARLINGTON—The Arlington Municipal Airport, and decarbonization partner Veregy, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, October 17, to commemorate the launch of its solar array project promoting the benefits of renewable energy. This is Washington’s state’s largest general aviation solar array.
The airport’s new solar installation is capable of totaling 87.5 kW of DC power, comprised of car canopies and rooftop panels on the airport office. The airport projects these installations can generate nearly 145,000 kWh of renewable energy annually, significantly offsetting its electric consumption and reducing its carbon footprint by 2,500 metric tons of CO2 over the life of the project.
