Constellation Energy and the Denver International Airport (DIA) have completed a 4.4 MW, ground-mounted solar power system. Constellation Energy built, owns and maintains the installation, and the DIA will purchase the electricity produced by the system over a 20-year period.
According to Constellation, the new installation represents the DIA's third large-scale solar project, bringing the airport's total amount of hosted solar power to more than 8 MW, the most solar generation at a commercial airport in the U.S.
The system, utilizing approximately 19,000 Yingli Solar photovoltaic panels, is expected to supply 7,000 MWh of electricity to the DIA annually.
