Embraer estimates that its participation in a local solar power distribution scheme can offset around 10 MWh of energy a year.

Embraer has commissioned its largest solar energy project to date, with the upcoming installation to be situated at its Executive Jets headquarters in Melbourne, Florida. The project will include more than 1,900 solar panels capable of supplying up to 1,800 MWh annually.

According to Embraer Executive Jets, this will be enough to power “most of” its global customer center facility, which opened in December 2011. Alongside a 17,112-sq-ft delivery hangar, it features five design studios for customers to select aircraft paint schemes and interior customization options.
