The Gaylord National Resort in National Harbor, Maryland, mounted 4,696 panels across roughly 3.5 acres of convention center roof, generating about 495,316 kilowatt hours since going live in June 2026. Annual projections put the array near 3.4 million kilowatt hours, supplying up to 20 percent of the resort's electrical load at peak production and offsetting up to 50 percent of utility-purchased electricity. The hotel's director of engineering, Derek Brauner, said the solar addition strengthens the foundation established through its combined heat and power system.
