While previous studies have deemed airports as great solar generators, the new research goes further by precisely modelling the use of large-scale systems. Airport buildings are massive construction and new research has found that these swaths of empty rooftops can be put to use. According to the study, Australia’s government-owned airports are ideal hosts for […]
RMIT: Australian Airports Could Generate Enough Solar Energy To Power A Regional City: Study
New research shows placing solar panels on the roofs of Australian airport buildings could be an efficient step towards net zero emissions. A new study has found Australia’s government-owned airports could produce enough electricity to power 136,000 homes, if they had large-scale rooftop solar systems installed. Researchers at RMIT University compared electricity generated by residential […]
