What a funny looking roof! ☀️ The 495 solar panels on the western portion of the roof are angled to take advantage of the southern exposure to the sun and are used to power the building’s geothermal system and other electrical needs.

💡 These solar panels convert sunlight into electricity and are capable of producing up to 18,000 kWh of electricity per year, depending on the weather conditions. That’s enough electricity to light a 100 watt bulb for 180,000 hours!
