Duke Energy starts commercial operation of 2 MW rooftop solar project in Northern Kentucky
Duke Energy has started the commercial operation of its new utility-scale rooftop solar project, a 2-MW facility installed on the 800,000-square-foot Amazon Air Hub rooftop adjacent to the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, USA.
Consisting of over 5,600 photovoltaic panels, the project will feed up to 2 megawatts of solar power directly onto the electric distribution grid, energizing approximately 400 homes and businesses in the area. The project is a joint partnership between Amazon and Duke Energy, aligning with both companies’ renewable energy goals.
The location on Amazon’s Air Hub is ideal for many reasons, including a substantial and accessible flat roof, which receives optimal sunlight, and it is near the infrastructure needed to feed the solar energy onto the distribution grid, and then to nearby customers.
