Col. Doug Fick is the Vermont Air National Guard’s commander. On this, he says, “Right here what we are looking at right now is one of our prime proposed sites if we go the photovoltaic route.”

They are actually looking at putting in 5000 units of solar panels on that available piece of land. That sure will bring in a lot of power to help with their facilities. At present, engineers have been studying the whole project so as to see what would be the best way to actually use the land for solar use.

That’s really a good project if you ask me. And people will know more about solar power and what it can do. Hope this project pushes through.

From Snowy Field To Solar Farm

But now they have come up with something good for the lot. They now are thinking of building a solar farm there. They have checked with experts and it is said that the whole land could bring in 100 megawatts of power. That is surely a huge amount.

Of course, they still would have to go for an approval for this kind of project. H. David Nahai, the general manager of the LA Department of Water and Power, says that if the project pushes through, then it will be like a clean power plant for the city.

Airport To Solar Farm?

The project is actually the brainchild of the Hawaii Pacific Health Partners. Reports say that this solar farm in the Wilcox Memorial Hospital is actually the very first in a hospital in the mentioned state. It is also the second largest in all solar farms in Hawaii, as Sunetric had mentioned in a news report.

What the solar farm will do is take the sun’s rays and use it to supply power to the hospital. It is estimated that when the sun shines brightly, the whole solar farm will bring in at least 52% of the total power needs of the hospital. This solar farm is actually 500 kW.

With this kind of solar project, one can say that the hospital will surely be spending less on energy and electricity bills. The money they save, they sure can use to further improve their services.

Hawaii Hospital Gets Solar Farm

Klopf, along with 29 other students, had worked five hours on the area. They transferred the plants that grew there. The list of plants included young pines, orchids, and ferns. They had to do such a thing on the whole 19 acres. Klopf said, “There was no alternative but to clear the space. I decided I wanted to be part of the solution.”

The solar farm that will be rising on the site is actually from Regenesis. This company from California is very much aware of the benefits of renewable energy and would like to share that with other people. The whole solar farm costs around $17 million and it is estimated that the power from the project will be able to make the school’s energy bills go down by 16% to 18%.
