Solar panels installed at the Energy Advancement and Innovation Center

Crews worked to install solar panels on the canopy above the roof of the Energy Advancement and Innovation Center located at Carmenton, the university’s innovation district.

Four panels at a time were   ganged together with two C-channels at ground level, then lifted by the crane to attach them to the structure. The steel attachments are predrilled to a 7-degree slope. The panels are installed slightly skewed to the building access so that they point due south. Each one will produce an output of approximately 400-watts of electricity.
