Image courtesy of Atlanta Motorsports Park .Located in Dawsonville, Ga., the AMP campus is adding solar power through an array of 747 panels, generating 480 watts per panel, for a total of 358 kilowatts .
Annually, the installation is capable of generating 450,300 kWh of clean energy, offsetting 7,312 pounds of CO2 emissions over a 30-year period, according to an estimation tool provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency . The EPA’s calculations state this offset is equivalent to eliminating over 16.6 million miles of road vehicle travel, or akin to planting 109,600 trees.
Porter emphasized how the expertise and assistance of Hannah Solar proved invaluable during the research, planning, design, and installation phase. AMP’s solar energy production will also be abetted by Hannah Solar’s long-term maintenance support. AMP plans on having solar energy generation commence once installation and setup has concluded in Q3 2024. Its startup will coincide with the addition of karting course lighting, allowing karting events and races to continue well into the night. With the addition of residential CirCuit Villas, and Condos at the park in recent years, along with upgrades to member amenities, AMP can also serve as a weekend retreat or vacation destination for passionate motorsports enthusiasts.
