Experiences of Existing Airport Solar ProjectsThere are a large number of solar PV facilities operating within the vicinity of or immediately adjacent to (insome cases even on) airports in Australia and internationally.In the USA numerous large scale solar farms have been located nearby to high volume traffic airports. Eachof these have passed FAA or Air Force standards and been classified as “No Hazard to Air Navigation”.The following extract has been taken from the FAA Solar Airport Guide:Solar installations are presently operating at a number of airports including megawatt-sized solarfacilities covering multiple acres. Project managers from six airports where solar has been operationalfor one to three years were asked about glare complaints. Air traffic controllers were contacted fromthree of those airports and asked to comment on the effect of glare on their daily operations. To date,there have been no serious complaints from pilots or air traffic control due to glare impacts fromexisting airport solar PV installations. Any potential problems in this area have apparently beenresolved prior to construction through one or a combination of the strategies described above. Theanecdotal evidence suggests that either significant glare is not occurring during times of operation orif glare is occurring, it is not a negative effect and a minor is part of the landscape to which pilots andtower personnel are exposed. (Source: FAA Solar Airport Guide, Nov 2010. )Accordingly some of the largest commercial roof top installations in the world make use of abundant spaceat airports, for example a 1MW at San Jose Airport using Canadian Solar modules, as per the below photo:56Mount Majura Solar Farm – Works Approval Submission
