Our airport solutions
Let your energy generation take off by making the most of your space!
Airports are committed on a daily basis to decarbonising their activities and their energy transition, despite the increase in their electricity requirements due to the rise in passenger numbers and the electrification of airport equipment.
Nevertheless, complex issues can arise in relation to safety, the development of used spaces, land artificialisation and the resilience of new renewable energy sources in an airport environment.
Wattway solutions provide a relevant alternative for generating renewable energy in these areas, making new use of abundant land to develop your solar potential. Infrastructures on the airport air side (bypass routes, aircraft parking areas, taxiway approaches, etc.) or on the land side (car parks, forecourts, pedestrian walkways, cycle paths, pavements, etc.) occupy considerable space and it is important to reconcile the installation of a photovoltaic plant with land optimisation, shelter from the wind and no debilitating reverberation.
What we offer
Wattway PLUS:
local energy generation
Wattway PLUS is a turnkey photovoltaic solution for generating energy locally for your own needs. The solar power plant is installed on your transport infrastructure over an area of several hundred or thousands of square metres to generate renewable energy locally for your own needs.
The energy generated is fed directly into your buildings and consumed there.
Benefits:
- Your electricity bills are reduced
- Your energy dependence is reduced
- You generate your own renewable energy
- Optimised use of the land occupied by your airport infrastructure
- No wind exposure and no reverberation
Wattway PACK:
energy self-sufficiency
Wattway PACK is a photovoltaic solution, a kind of self-sufficient electrical outlet on the traffic-bearing surface, which provides an autonomous power supply for all types of electrical equipment near the traffic route in both urban and rural areas.
Covering only a few square metres of ground, this solution is useful when the power grid is non-existent or remote and therefore difficult and/or costly to connect to.
Benefits:
- Short installation times
- Reduced inconvenience to users during works
- Reduced installation costs
- The appearance of the location remains unspoiled by means of an unobtrusive solution
- Autonomous power supply provided for equipment
Where can Wattway be installed in an airport?
Examples of locations for a Wattway power plant:
- Air side maintenance and emergency service roads
- Air side aircraft parking apron
- Air side taxiway approaches
- Passenger car parks
- Pedestrian walkways (passenger shuttle platforms, airport pedestrian zones)
- Terminal forecourt for pedestrian or cyclist access

Prerequisites for installing Wattway
Here are some key points to help you get started:
Ascertain your needs
Do you wish to reduce your energy bills by using a system to produce your own energy for use in your buildings? Our Wattway PLUS local own consumption solution is just what you need! Do you wish to install electrical equipment (bicycle charging point, pedestrian safety system, etc.) on the traffic route, but there is no nearby power supply? Our Wattway PACK energy self-sufficiency solution for equipment is just what you need!
Identification
Choose a flat, non-shaded site with an asphalt or concrete surface in good condition. For Wattway PLUS: record your annual energy consumption and its purchase price. This information will be used to design and calculate the profitability of your project. For Wattway PACK: identify the type of equipment to be powered, its rated power (W) and its intended operating hours. This information will be used to design and calculate the profitability of your project.
Example of deployment
An airport has deployed a Wattway PLUS photovoltaic power plant with a capacity of 910 kWp (around 5000 m²) on an air side service road.
The electricity generated by this facility will be fed into the grid and consumed by its various buildings.
This Wattway PLUS installation could generate the following amounts of energy in the first year (subject to site and shade conditions):
- at Munich in Germany: 603 MWh/year
- at Rome in Italy: 724 MWh/year
- at Marseille in France: 852 MWh/year
