Solar Generates 25% of Farnborough's Electric Power
4,000 solar panels have been fitted on buildings across the London-area facility
Farnborough Airport solar panels
Farnborough Airport has installed solar panels on the roofs of buildings, including its curved hangars.

Farnborough Airport is now generating a quarter of its power needs from an extensive network of 4,000 solar panels installed on buildings throughout the London-area business aviation gateway. The recently completed installation will also provide power for the airport's fleet of electric vehicles.

The solar panels have been fitted on the roofs of Farnborough’s distinctive curved hangars, as well as on the terminal building, the air traffic control tower, and the Aviator hotel. These can deliver more than 1,700 kWp of installed power capacity annually, generating more than 1.2 Gigawatt hours of clean energy each year.
