Using a "solar pathfinder" (see photo below) the solar access of the projected site was evaluated.  The results indicate 98% solar access--excellent for using a photovoltaic system.   With this positive evaluation,  we broke ground for the installation of the solar panels on Earth Day (April 22nd), 2004.
