At Construction Midpoint, Lockheed Martins Massive New Solar Carport Taking Shape as Floridas Largest Privately Held Solar Array

OLDSMAR, Fla., June 25, 2015 - With the first phase of the innovative solar carport at Lockheed Martins Mission Systems and Training facility in Oldsmar, Florida completed and phase two construction now underway, Floridas largest private, non-utility-owned solar array is quickly becoming a landmark. The team is preparing for an official ribbon cutting and launch of the project October 2015.

Advanced Roofing is also resurfacing the facilitys entire 6.65-acre parking lot while Lockheed Martin operations remain in full swing. More than 250 Lockheed Martin employees vehicles are being shaded under the two completed, 400-foot-long carport sections. According to Clint Sockman, vice president of Advanced Roofing and AGT, phase ones 3,880 Hanwha SolarOne S-series modules will begin converting sunlight to energy once transformers are installed later this summer.

"The carports scope and capacity make it a great demonstration of solar energys potential to improve sustainability for Floridas private sector," Sockman said. "Its an exciting, fast-track project that draws on our decades of experience handling complex projects in operational businesses, governmental and healthcare environments."

General contractor Advanced Roofing and sister company Advanced Green Technologies (AGT) marked the midway construction milestone of the 2.26 megawatt solar carport in Oldsmar earlier this month, with the entire project on track for completion in October 2015. AGT is constructing and installing Lockheed Martins 151,400-square-foot solar carport, which is expected to produce an estimated 3.3 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year when completed, cutting energy purchases for the facility by up to 60 percent.

Bringing an added "green" dimension to the environmentally friendly construction project, Lockheed Martin is recycling the inch-deep soil being removed from the entire parking lot, by donating it for use at the City of Oldsmars new BMX Supercross facility being built nearby. "This is another example of the partnership between the City of Oldsmar and Lockheed Martin and the shared value of environmental stewardship," stated Oldsmar Mayor Doug Bevis.

"At Lockheed Martin, we look for sustainable solutions with multiple benefits, and the solar carport will deliver long-term, on several fronts," said Curt Engel, Lockheed Martin Oldsmar Facility General Manager. "Drawing on renewable power will reduce our carbon footprint while cutting energy costs significantly. Were delighted our employees will benefit from shaded parking - and pleased that the city will re-use material from our site in creating a unique recreational asset for the community."
