An airport is a structure that surely does get a fair share of the sun. See, it has got to be far away from any towering buildings or trees so much so that the airplanes would not get caught in any of that. And so it is just right for an airport to get solar power.

Alamogordo City’s airport, the White Sands Regional Airport, is one of those airports which is going to be receiving solar power. So that means, that it will be spending less on electricity and power bills.

The solar project atop the White Sands Regional Airport can convert the sun’s rays into usable power. It can create 8 kW so just imagine how much the airport would be saving. If there is too much power that the airport just does not need, the excess power is sent to the electric system of New Mexico’s Public Service Company.
