Federal Aviation Administration Policy: Review of Solar Energy
FAA is publishing this policy because it is in the public interest to enhance safety by analyzing ocular impact of proposed solar energy systems on airport traffic control tower
In response, the FAA prepared Technical Guidance for Evaluating Selected Solar Technologies on Airports (“Solar Guide”) to meet the regulatory and information needs of FAA personnel and airport sponsors in evaluating airport solar projects.
Airport Solar PV Implementation Guidance Document 3 Disclaimer Acknowledgement This guidance document builds on airport operators' understanding of the key elements of solar PV implementation at airports. ACI Asia -Pacific would like to express its gratitude to the ACI Asia-Pacific Regional Environment Committee
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.
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.
