Solar USA engaged professional services of WCP Solar Services, LLC, Moxie Solar, Inc., General Constructors Inc., and Davenport Electric Contract Company. Solar USA - as the owner/developer and financier of the project - will oversee all phases of the construction process and committed to hiring local contractors to ensure local employment. Solar USA (the owner/developer) funded 100% of the cost of the system, and the Q-C Airport agreed to purchase 100% of the renewable energy the solar system generates at a discounted energy rate.
There is no cost to the airport. The Power Purchase Agreement was made possible through federal and state renewable energy incentives that subsidizes a portion of the cost to install the system. The airport anticipates saving millions of dollars for energy expenses over the life of the system. This grid-connected distributed generation system will generate enough power to offset more than 50% of the airport’s current usage. The Quad Cities International Airport solar energy project is planned to be done by the end of the summer.
WCP Financials (doing business as Solar USA) was contracted to design and construct a carport and rooftop “Now, travelers will have the option to park under a covered structure so they don’t have to scrape ice or dig out after a winter storm when they’re tired and just want to get home.” I can’t tell you how many cars our public safety team digs out each year,” he said. “The bonus is being able to offer an additional amenity to our passengers. “We are fortunate to have this opportunity to bring a clean energy source to the airport to offset the footprint that airports create,” QCIA executive director Benjamin Leischner said in an airport release. Two additional electric vehicle charging stations will be added to the existing three once the project is completed.Īt the time of this announcement, only 20 percent of public U.S. Ben Leischner is executive director of the Q-C Airport in Moline.Ĭovered parking option for nearly 200 spots in the short-term lot – at no cost to the Moline airport.
