ACI Jet, a California-based network of FBOs and aircraft maintenance facilities, has activated its recently completed 900-panel solar array at its San Luis Obispo location. The system now powers the company’s FBO, FAA Part 145 aircraft maintenance and repair station, and flight operations at San Luis Obispo County Airport (KSBP).
Capable of producing up to 576 kW of peak power throughout much of the year, the solar installation enables the facility’s full operational footprint to be powered by renewable energy, according to company officials.
The system, designed and installed by San Luis Obispo–based electrical contractor SLO Craft, spans the rooftops of ACI Jet’s aircraft maintenance and storage hangars.
The project coincides with a broader renewable-energy effort at San Luis Obispo County Airport, which recently completed installation of a 940 kW solar system over its parking facilities, FBO officials noted.
