Solar Power in a Shipping Container
Along with permanent solar installations at Air Force bases and the beginnings of a heavy investment in biofuel for fighter jets, the Air Force’s sustainability plan includes developing portable solar arrays that are designed to fit into standard shipping containers. To be built by Lockheed Martin, the solar-in-a-shipping-container concept is actually part of a larger sustainability program called Basic Expeditionary Airfield Resources (BEAR), which is designed to cut fuel consumption and integrate more portable energy systems into mobile bases.
