Container terminals in sunny climates are particularly good candidates for on-site solar power generation. Finding space for solar panels Installing photovoltaic (PV) solar panels on building roofs is already common in sunny climates.
Generating renewable power on-site at the port terminals can significantly reduce this off-site pollution, improve public opinion of the ports, and reduce the terminal’s energy expenses. Container terminals in sunny climates are particularly good candidates for on-site solar power generation. Finding space for solar panels
Wilmsmeier et al. (2014) found that reefers account for as much as 40% of the total energy consumption of a container terminal. The other 60% is assigned to ship-to-shore cranes (40%), terminal lightning (12%), and administration and workshops (8%).
Ports that also manage neardock warehouses may have even greater potential for rooftop electricity generation, since most existing roofs can support the added weight of PV panels without requiring structural reinforcement. Employee parking lots offer additional space for solar generation facilities.
