Solar Farm at Indianapolis International Airport—The Indianapolis International Airport is home to the world’s largest airport-based solar farm complex: Its three solar farms occupy more than 180 acres of land. This project represents a successful public-private partnership, returning undeveloped aviation buffer land to commercial use. We will review the project’s various components, focusing on the aviation aspects, hurdles that were overcome, and lessons learned.
