Stage 1 (4MW) was made up of 15,000 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/hanwha-q-cells-review.html\">Q Cells solar panels<\/a> and became fully operational in 2016. At that point the installation was the largest airside solar farm in the world and was expected to slash Darwin International Airport&#8217;s electricity costs by $1.5 million a year.<\/p>\n<p>Stage 2 (1.5MW capacity) was completed the same year and there are also various rooftop solar power systems already installed across the site.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of its PV efforts, DIA scored the Airports Council International&#8217;s Asia-Pacific Green Airports Platinum Award for facilities with less than 25 million passengers per annum in 2017 .<\/p>\n<p>The existing PV capacity at Darwin International Airport generated 8,297 megawatt-hours of clean electricity during the 2019\/20 financial year, which ADG says was &#8220;<span class=\"d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql lr9zc1uh a8c37x1j keod5gw0 nxhoafnm aigsh9s9 d3f4x2em fe6kdd0r mau55g9w c8b282yb iv3no6db jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v knj5qynh oo9gr5id hzawbc8m\" dir=\"auto\">enough to support 84% of DIA operations, including the terminal.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Solar Power A &#8220;No-Brainer&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>ADG also owns and operates Alice Springs Airport (ASA), which has 1MW of solar installed that covered all the airport&#8217;s energy requirements last financial year. ASA is another award winner, taking out the Australian Airports Association&#8217;s 2014 Major Airport Of The Year award for an early PV project involving the installation of solar panels over part of the long-term carpark that was subsequently extended.<\/p>\n<p>Alice Springs Airport General Manager David Baltic commented a few years ago that solar was a &#8220;no-brainer&#8221; from a business perspective and a contribution to the community and environment.<\/p>\n<p>The $5M investment in more solar power for Darwin&#8217;s airport is comprised of capital investment from ADG and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/nt-airports-solar-mb0735\/\"> funding<\/a> from Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility. NAIF was provided $5 billion by the Commonwealth Government to issue loans to eligible infrastructure projects across the NT, the northern half of Western Australia and much of Queensland.<\/p>\n<p>Among the criteria for projects to be funded is they must generate public benefit &#8211; including outside of what is gained by the project proponent. With solar energy&#8217;s green street cred, it helps ticks that box and ADG will be utilising local businesses where it can to undertake works.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cNAIF works with project proponents to help bring a positive impact to local communities and we are pleased to partner with the ADG to help bring these solar arrays to the site,&#8221;
