AdventHealth's ambitious solar energy project, located at its Altamonte Springs corporate headquarters in Florida, is now fully operational. This new 3-MW solar photovoltaic system is one of the largest privately owned solar projects in the Sunshine State.

This impressive project is a step forward in AdventHealth's journey to reduce its carbon footprint. The healthcare system has committed to reduce emissions by 50% by 2030 and achieve net zero emissions by 2050. This is a testament to their commitment in promoting renewable energy and reducing environmental impact.

Key features of the project include:

• Over 7,500 solar panels installed across the rooftops of four buildings, two parking garages, and parking canopies, casting a protective shade over walkways.
• Amenities such as 62 electric vehicle charging ports added, and sheltered parking for hundreds of surface parking spots.
• Significant energy savings with the production of an estimated 4,200 MWh annually, supplying approximately a third of the campus' electricity requirements.

The completion of this project represents a mindful approach to conserving natural resources, according to Olesea Azevedo, chief administrative officer for AdventHealth. By harnessing the power of renewable solar energy on their corporate campus, AdventHealth shows its commitment to building a sustainable future that helps to preserve the planet for the generations to come.

The project, a brainchild of ESA, has also added great value to the healthcare system's overall sustainability and long-term environmental goals. According to Morgan Brawner, chief revenue officer for ESA, the project mirrors AdventHealth’s commitment to innovation, long-term economic and environmental impact, and sustainability, serving as a model for future onsite solar projects across the nation.

Understanding that healthcare is uniquely positioned to lead the climate action, this collaboration demonstrates the potential of solar power as a renewable energy solution.
