Two Megawatt Solar Array Dedicated at Denver International Airport

A two megawatt solar energy system is being dedicated
at Denver
International Airport (DIA). The solar photovoltaic
system,
spanning seven and a half acres at the airport's
entrance,
will generate over three million kilowatt hours (kWh)
of clean
electricity annually, demonstrating Denver's commitment
to
environmental sustainability by reducing carbon
emissions
into the atmosphere by more than 6.3 million pounds
each year.




Designed and installed by WorldWater, using more than
9,200
Sharp solar panels, the new ground-mounted photovoltaic
solar
arrays employ a single-axis tracking system that
follows the
sun during the day for greater efficiency and energy
production.
