• Chattanooga Airport soaks in the sun with 4.5 acres of photovoltaic panels

  • Chat_Airport_Stock_Photo.jpgWith the world turning to greener renewable energy sources of energy to power up, the Chattanooga Metropolitan Authority too decided to sway to the greener side and has hooked up the Chattanooga Airport to solar panels. By Atlanta-based Inman Solar, the installation covers a whopping 4.5 acres and trickles in green energy for the airport’s use. These high-efficiency crystalline silicon solar cells and modules were developed by Suniva, also an Atlanta-based solar company. Since completion in December, the installation has already generated 90,000 kilowatt-hours of power and saved 62 tons of Co2 from entering the ecosystem, making the Chattanooga Airport a green place to fly.
