Novel ways solar can and is being used at
Whatever happens, solar certainly has a place at airports with Brisbane airport saving itself somewhere between $20 million to $50
The Adelaide International photovoltaic system was considered for this case study as it is the largest roof-top photovoltaic system installed at an Australian airport (Adelaide Airport Ltd, 2017a). Also, the case documentation was extensive and allowed for the in-depth analysis of the system.
The qualitative data was analyzed using document analysis. The study found that the solar photovoltaic (PV) system installed at Adelaide Airport has delivered tangible environmental benefits.
Abstract: Airports are extremely energy intensive areas. To mitigate the environmental impact of energy usage and to reduce their reliance on the traditional fossil-based energy sources, many airports around the world have installed solar photovoltaic (PV) systems as part of their environmental sustainability policies.
The rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system at Adelaide Airport was more than ten times the size (1.17MW) of the existing system that was installed in 2007 on the airport's short-term car park roof, thus bringing the total rooftop capacity to 1.28MW (Douetil, 2015). The PV system occupies 8,000 square metres of roof space.
