Van Nuys Airport Gets Major Solar Energy Project
The solar panels on the roofs of the Aeroplex/Aerolease Group's hangars will provide enough energy to power 200 homes for a year.
The solar project will cover the roofs of four hangars at Aeroplex/Aerolease Group's complex at VNY, including its newly-built 50,000 sq ft hangar (highlighted), and will generate enough energy to power 200 homes a year, as well as reduce carbon emissions.

Aviation property development and management firm Aeroplex/Aerolease Group has partnered with Los Angeles-based PCS Energy to create the first solar energy project at California’s Van Nuys Airport (VNY). The project, consisting of some 4,000 solar panels, will cover 150,000 sq ft on the roofs of the four hangars at the company’s Van Nuys East complex. “We’ve been working on it for a number of months,” said Aeroplex CEO Curt Castagna. “The reflectivity test with the FAA has been approved.”
