Gulfstream solar panels at Mesa, Arizona service center
Gulfstream Aerospace's service center in Mesa, Arizona, has solar panels on multiple structures, including carports.

Gulfstream Aerospace has completed the installation of solar panels at its service center in Mesa, Arizona. According to the aircraft maker, the equipment can provide all the electricity needed during peak times for the 225,000-sq-ft maintenance, repair, and overhaul facility.

The 4,000 solar panels installed in locations including carports are expected to produce more than 4 million kilowatt-hours of electricity each year. Gulfstream has already installed solar power infrastructure at five other facilities, and the Mesa service center is the first Gulfstream center to earn the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Gold certification.
