Flughafen Z\u00fcrich AG<\/a> in Kloten wants to come closer to its net-zero target for company emissions by 2040 with a significant expansion of renewable energies. According to a press release<\/a>, photovoltaic systems are to be significantly expanded. In addition to systems on roofs and facades, the airport is now testing the installation of solar fences. The first system has been installed next to the airport’s heating center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The vertically mounted panels offer several advantages. As they can be exposed to solar radiation on both sides, the electricity yield is increased by 10 to 30 percent. This means that electricity production can be extended throughout the day. At the same time, the solar panels serve as a security fence for the airport area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

“As a first step, we want to gather experience with the vertical solar systems and check whether this technology could be considered for other locations. Parking lots, for example, are conceivable. The test phase will last at least a year in order to be able to map the seasonal effects,” Guido H\u00fcni, Head of Energy and Decarbonization at Flughafen Z\u00fcrich AG, is quoted as saying in the press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Photovoltaic systems are currently installed on twelve building roofs. Further locations are being examined in a feasibility study. Among other things, glare safety for pilots and the tower must be guaranteed. By 2040, the airport’s photovoltaic systems should produce enough electricity to supply 5,000 households.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
