The array's location on the PINC's property
captures full sunlight during peak hours.

The PINC's system demonstrates
self-generated solar electricity as
another component of sustainability.


The institute's lush, enclosed gardens
obscure the low-angled array
from the street completely.


The array is ground-mounted
on a sturdy, custom-built frame.


A duo of inverters, shaded from
the elements, provides a constant
digital readout of power generation.
