Gift & Thrift Solar

Project Type: Roof-mounted photovoltaic array
Location: Harrisonburg, VA 
Panels: 180
Capacity: 54 kW
Completed: November 2016
Description:

A team of 25 volunteers helped install the first 108 panels of Gift & Thrift's planned 306 panel array, which will provide over 45% of their electrical needs. JZ Engineering performed structural analysis of the existing roof to ensure it could support the installation.
