Lockheed Martin and Advanced Green Technologies Break Ground on Florida's Largest Private, Non-Utility Solar Project

Lockheed Martin broke ground on its solar carport project with lead contractor Advanced Green Technologies. The project, located near Clearwater, Florida, will provide 151,400 square feet of protected parking for 534 cars, sheltered by 7,260 solar modules. It will be the largest private, non-utility solar project in the state, and will allow Lockheed Martin to cut facility energy costs by up to 60 percent. That’s over $300,000 in savings annually and $6.5 million over the life of the project.

 

AGT was selected to design and build the 2.25 megawatt solar carport that will feature photovoltaic panels manufactured by Hanwha SolarOne Co. Ltd and inverters by SunGrow. The development will produce approximately 3.33 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year for 25 years.
