ACI Jet has completed and activated a 900-panel solar installation at its San Luis Obispo location. The system powers the company’s FBO, FAA Part 145 aircraft maintenance and repair station, and flight operations center at San Luis Obispo County Airport.
The solar installation can produce up to 576 kilowatts of peak power throughout much of the year. The system was designed and installed by San Luis Obispo-based electrical contractor SLO Craft and spans the rooftops of ACI Jet’s aircraft maintenance and storage hangars.
“Alternative and renewable energy already supports many of our modernized aircraft ground support systems,” said Andrew Robillard, head of FBOs and facilities for ACI Jet. “As the aviation industry moves toward increased electrification of aircraft, vehicles, and equipment, establishing a clean, reliable, and scalable energy source becomes not just beneficial, but essential.”
San Luis Obispo County Airport recently completed installation of a 940 kilowatt solar system over its parking facilities.
ACI Jet is a California-based network of fixed base operations and aircraft maintenance facilities.
