Advanced Green Technologies Completes Lockheed Martin’s Second Massive Solar Carport in Florida
ORLANDO, Fla. – Powering up Lockheed Martin’s new 145,379-square-foot solar carport in east Orlando, lead contractor Advanced Green Technologies (AGT) joined the global security and aerospace company in marking completion of one of Florida’s largest privately owned solar arrays. As an innovative way for companies large and small to “go green” with rapid ROI, the project spotlights the potential of high-tech carports to offset energy use while shielding employees’ vehicles from the Florida sun.
The 2 megawatt solar carport located at Lockheed Martin’s Rotary and Mission Systems facility parking lot is expected to produce 3.41 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year and will save approximately $370,000 in energy costs annually. Fort Lauderdale-based Advanced Green Technologies, Florida’s largest solar contractor and a sister company to Advanced Roofing Inc., provided design, procurement and construction of the project.
