The four solar plants are designed for total "zero injection" self-consumption. This means that the energy produced is used entirely to cover the airport's needs without any discharge to the grid. They are part of the Photovoltaic Plan designed by AENA, whose goal is to achieve 100% renewable energy self-sufficiency in its airport facilities by 2026. All of the plants use south-facing 340Wp monocrystalline solar modules installed on a fixed structure anchored to the ground, with the exception of Gran Canaria, where the plant forms the canopy of the airport car park.
The largest solar parks, in production since December 2020, are those of Tenerife Sur and Fuerteventura. In each of these, more than 3,000 modules, 10 inverters, a transformer substation, a distribution centre - in the case of Fuerteventura, the existing one has been expanded - and the necessary Dynamic Power Control equipment were installed. In both cases, the nominal installed capacity is 1,000 kW - 1,033 kWp - which is estimated to produce 1,740 MWh of renewable energy per year. The plants at the airports of Lanzarote and Gran Canaria will have a nominal installed capacity of 850 kW and 600 kW respectively, with more than 4,400 photovoltaic modules installed. The estimated annual combined production totals 2,510 MWh.
