A 30.4kW blue jewel gleams on a high-traffic
San Francisco street corner.
The solar array is tilted to capture
maximum solar exposure.
Brackets bolted to the backsides
of the solar panels as bracing.
The solar system can be seen at street level,
yet is attractively low-profile.
The installion crew worked nightshifts with
a crane to get equipment onto the canopy.
