Solar PV Installation Tour

Yesterday we toured several solar PV electric system installations in the LA area. The sites included the Los Angeles Convention Center, the John Ferraro building car port, the California Dept. of Transportation building, the Electrical Training Institute of Southern California, and the carport canopy at Cal State Dominguez Hills.

Photos and a couple of video clips from the day follow...

Live from Long Beach, CA!!


Yesterday was my travel day and I made it to Long Beach without a hitch. After checking in at my hotel, I took a cab to the convention center district and the Long Beach convention center for registration. The harbor area of Long Beach is pretty neat-a scenic little boardwalk takes you around a park, lighthouse and tons of restaurants.

This morning I'm trying to figure out the bus schedule so I can get down to the convention center for the all day solar site visit tour that I'm scheduled for. I'm looking forward to the site tours as we're expected to visit several large scale installations. One of the sites that we're visiting has a 450 Kw array! Lots of pictures and video clips will hopefully be posted later today!
