Changi Airport enhancing sustainability with solar
Changi Airport Group is installing a new rooftop solar panel system, reducing carbon emissions by 20,000 tonnes each year.
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.
The A irport can also compare the feasibility of the plant by changing project capacity based on electricity banking, net metering and supply opportunities to other users. The outcome of Task 4 will help Airports finalise the solar PV plant capacity and ensure its financial viability.
Airport Solar PV Implementation Guidance Document 43 For Ground-Mounted Solar • Mounting system design needs to meet applicable local building code requirements with respect to snow, wind, and earthquake factors. • Mounting system can either be fixed tilt or single axis tracker.
Solar PV projects are also a visible means to demonstrate the implementation of environmental policies. However, developing solar PV project within Airports are different from that of developing it elsewhere as it requires certain additional planning and design strategies, various studies and a multidisciplinary team of experts.
