“It was an honor supporting AAR’s efforts to make a significant and positive impact on their carbon footprint. The Greensboro staff was highly engaged throughout the process and made building our largest project to date feel relatively easy,’ notes Evan Becka, senior project developer and president of Pisgah Energy. “What’s more, collectively, these systems represent Guilford County’s largest rooftop solar installation. As a Greensboro native, it’s a real point of pride for my company to have played a part in that achievement.”
These systems, totaling 4.6 MWDC and composed of 7,770 QCells 590-W panels and 25 SolarEdge inverters, will serve as on-site electrical generation and produce over 5,900 MWh of renewable energy annually. This is Pisgah’s largest completed solar project yet.
“Completing a large commercial solar project at a busy airport is no easy feat. The Pisgah Energy team met this challenge with innovative ideas that maximized solar production while remaining on schedule and under budget. The solar panel system enables AAR to offset carbon emissions, power our facility, and return excess energy to the grid. We are grateful for Pisgah Energy’s expertise and collaboration on this sustainability-driven project,” said Brett Houser, director of EHS at AAR’s Airframe MRO – Greensboro location.
