The project was developed in collaboration with Zestec Renewable Energy. The solar panels will generate more than 1.133 million kWh, lowering the annual carbon emissions by up to 252 tons and providing up to 32% of the facility's total energy demand from an on-site renewable source, Bombardier said.

Bombardier's London Biggin Hill Service Centre nears 250,000 square feet and is fully equipped to perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, modifications and avionics installations for Bombardier Learjet, Challenger and Global aircraft.
