This forum may not be the appropriate place to discuss alternative
energy sources as they might apply to an aircraft hangar to be built
in a location far removed from the energy grid. I'm hoping that one of
you may have experience in this area and reply on this forum or
contact me directly.
Thanks,

A friend has put 5 kw of 'thin film' solar panels on the roof of his
hangar in S Florida. He is 'on grid' and the grid interface feeds any
excess power into the grid & the power company has to buy the power (at
wholesale rates, of course).
If you're totally off-grid, you'd almost certainly need storage
(batteries) & an inverter, which raises cost considerably. Actual power
demands obviously matter, too. Do you need to run serious power tools
(big air compressor, welder, etc), or just light the hangar & run small
power tools?
If you have access to newsgroups, try alt.energy.homepower or
alt.solar.thermal.

Besides, there is nothing that encourages wild speculation as knowing nothing about it...and a few beers.
Instead, google "Home Power" magazine online (and print). They have everything and lots of archives. The internet is a wealth of information on the subject.
