Solar farm at Indianapolis International Airport is soaking up the sun http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1382361786
A 44,000-panel solar farm at Indianapolis International Airport has started soaking up sun rays and delivering usable electricity.
Airport and business officials Friday commissioned the $35 million to $40 million installation, which ranks as the largest airport-based solar farm in the country.
The airport expects to collect land rent of about $315,000 a year from the privately developed solar farm, which sits on 75 acres at the main airport exit off I-70. It will generate 12.5 megawatts of DCpower, enough to supply the electrical needs of about 1,800 average-sized houses.
