The project
Three buildings. 420.2 kW.
The shingle-roof arrays are in place, and the crew is installing panels on the metal roof. The latest aerials show how the system is taking shape across the campus.
We’ll keep updating this page as the work moves across the campus.

Before construction
Documenting every roof before work began
The campus spans several roof types and three buildings. The starting aerial gives us a clear record of the site before the first attachment went in.
Day 1
The project starts on the first shingle roof
Work began on the first shingle roof with layout and material staging.
Day 3
Rails are aligned and ready for modules
The crew completed the rail layout on the first roof and prepared it for panels.
Day 5
The first panels go on
The first all-black panels went onto the shingle roof.
Day 7
The first array is complete
The completed first array shows the scale of the work still ahead across the campus.
Day 8
Electrical work moves forward behind the panels
Conduit and electrical equipment were installed alongside the panel work.
Day 11
The next shingle-roof section is underway
The crew moved to the next shingle-roof section and began installing the optimizers that will sit beneath the panels.
Day 12
The electrical installation takes shape
The aerial view shows the inverter equipment and conduit along the building, with the metal roof still ahead of us.
Day 13
More panels across the shingle roofs
Panel installation continues across the front building. From above, you can see the arrays following the separate roof sections.
Day 18
The metal roof is ready for panels
Rows of mounting rails and wiring are in place across the metal roof, ready for the next stage of panel installation.
Day 22
The metal-roof array comes together
The crew is setting panels across the metal roof. The new aerial view shows the installed rows alongside the racking still to be covered.
