Medford airport gets money for more solar panels Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Jan. 22, 2015 at 5:32 PM Posted Jan. 22, 2015 at 5:32 PM » Social News The Medford airport has landed a $261,137 grant to add another array of solar panels. Pacific Power's Blue Sky renewable energy program will provide the money for an expansion of a previously-funded Blue Sky project, nearly doubling the existing solar capacity at the airport. The new 36-kilowatt array will be mounted on a canopy adjacent to three existing solar canopies located along the walkway between the parking lot and the terminal's main entrance, the utility company said in a news release about Blue Sky-funded projects. The airport put up its first 15-kilowatt array over parking toll booths in October 2012. That array helps power the airport's parking-lot lights, ticket distributors and toll booths. In 2013, it got a 25-kilowatt array mounted on three canopies extending from the terminal curb out to the airport's flag plaza near the parking lot. Those solar panels are intended to reduce the facility's dependence on fossil fuels while protecting pedestrians from sun and rain, officials said.
