ESA to install 3-MW solar portfolio for Florida hospital
In Florida, Solar Power World reported that AdventHealth is taking another step toward reducing its carbon emissions and achieving its environmental sustainability goals with an on-site solar energy installation at its corporate headquarters in Altamonte Springs, Florida. The report stated that solar developer ESA will begin the work to install more than 7,500 solar panels on top of four buildings and two garages that comprise the corporate campus. Additionally, solar canopies will be constructed throughout the parking lot surface and additional electric vehicle charging stations will be mounted that can support 62 electric vehicles. “AdventHealth is pursuing sustainability initiatives that help ensure the long-term well-being of our team members, patients, communities, business and environment. This solar installation will help reduce our impact on the environment while demonstrating our commitment in a significant and tangible way,” said Christine Stewart, VP of organizational integration and campus administration for AdventHealth. Scheduled for completion by the end of 2024, the solar installation will be one of the largest privately owned corporate solar projects in Florida, the report added.
