Project Brief
The Largest Solar Project for a Healthcare Organization in Orlando. AdventHealth Orlando, a local hospital campus, is a faith-based non-profit, research, and academic medical center located in Orlando, Florida. The organization is the region’s largest academic university-level teaching center and the oldest Seventh-day Adventist Hospital in the state.
ESA was selected to design and install a solar system that would continue to enhance the company’s environmental sustainability goals and be a major step toward utilizing clean, renewable energy at the campus.
The facility is now powered by an 850-kW solar carport with panels that sit on top of the McRae parking garage. The project, which also includes 32 electric vehicle charging stations for visitors and provides extra shade, will save the organization more than $4.6 million in energy costs over time while it energizes important systems within the campus.
The project is the largest solar project within the city of Orlando and future plans are in the works to install similar solar projects at other AdventHealth facilities in the Central Florida area.
