Satcom Direct (SD) has installed a 1,200-panel solar farm next to its Melbourne, Florida headquarters to reduce its carbon footprint. Adjacent to the SD data center, the solar farm spans 65,000-sq-ft.

The farm's photovoltaic modules will generate more than 97,750 kWh per month, allowing the business aviation connectivity provider to recoup its investment through energy costs in less than 10 years. Florida Electric and Solar did the planning and installation of the solar panels, which began generating power last month.
