4 FAQs about Low-voltage payment for off-grid solar cabinets at airports

Do airports need to measure the impact of solar energy projects?

The policy requires airports to measure the visual impact of such projects on pilots and air traffic control personnel. The policy applies to proposed solar energy systems at federally obligated airports with control towers.

What is the FAA solar guide?

In response, the FAA prepared Technical Guidance for Evaluating Selected Solar Technologies on Airports (“Solar Guide”) to meet the regulatory and information needs of FAA personnel and airport sponsors in evaluating airport solar projects.

Do airport solar projects create hazardous glare?

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published a final policy aimed at ensuring that airport solar projects don't create hazardous glare. The policy requires airports to measure the visual impact of such projects on pilots and air traffic control personnel.

Are private airports covered by the FAA solar policy?

These policies apply to federally obligated airports. Private airports and land adjacent to airports are not covered under these policies, though the FAA encourages stakeholders of such lands who are interested in siting solar systems on those lands follow the FAA's policies.
