Leading Provider of Flight Support Goes Solar at Multiple Locations Across NJ

Signature Flight Support Goes Solar

Signature Flight Support, a BBA Aviation Company, has more than 200 key locations across five continents. The company is the largest international network of fixed base operations for Business & General Aviation. Their services include including refueling, maintenance, repair, and a variety of business and private aviation needs.

Signature Flight Support has a focus on sustainability and corporate social responsibility. The company works to ensure all of its locations and hangars are LEED-certified and also started a company-wide recycling initiative to reduce waste. To advance its efforts in sustainability, Signature Flight Support partnered with PowerFlex to complete rooftop solar systems at locations across the U.S., with 10 sites specifically in New Jersey.

Solar Photovoltaic System Specifications

In total, Signature Flight Support’s New Jersey systems are roughly 3.7 MW in size and produce an estimated 3,087,820 kWh of energy every year. The system’s environmental benefits are equivalent to saving 233,369 gallons of gasoline or planting more than 1,960 acres of U.S. forests a year. The solar energy produced has the environmental benefits of avoiding 4,547,123 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions a year.

Significant Financial Returns

Signature Flight benefited from both the New Jersey Solar Renewable Energy Credit (SREC) Program and the New Jersey Clean Energy Program (NJCEP). Through the NJ SREC Program, Signature Flight earns credits for each kWh of electricity its system produces. It can then sell those credits to the market for revenue. In addition, Signature received financial incentives through NJCEP to help them transition towards clean energy. PowerFlex’s expertise in optimizing system design and solar system financing made going solar a great investment for Signature Flight.
