The new 900-panel solar array at ACI Jet’s San Luis Obispo County Airport location can provide enough electricity to power the entire facility.

California-based FBO services and aircraft maintenance chain ACI Jet has completed the installation of a solar array at its facility at San Luis Obispo County Airport (KSBP).

Taking advantage of the state’s bountiful sunshine, the 900-panel array—which spans the roofs of the location’s aircraft maintenance and storage hangars—is capable of generating nearly 600 kilowatts of peak power for much of the year, enough to power the entire FBO, Part 145 repair station, and flight operations center at KSBP.
