Implemented by Inman Solar, the 1MW installation is the first phase of a 3MW project by the Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport Authority.

The solar facility is designed to reduce pollution, waste and energy consumption.

Since December, the solar farm has generated nearly 90,000kWh of electricity with no pollution.

Suniva CEO John Baumstark said this is the first step in a historic project that will provide a clean and renewable source of energy on land that was unusable for aviation.

Suniva’s high-efficiency modules carry a ten-year workmanship guarantee and a 25-year linear power performance warranty.

Suniva is a US manufacturer of high-efficiency crystalline silicon solar cells and modules.
