They say go with what you know best. So we installed solar on the roof of our very own office, here at the Crane Arts Building. Located at 1400 N. American Street in Philadelphia, the Crane has been providing post-industrial artist spaces for the last 6 years. With a massive concrete rooftop (roughly 16,000 sq/ft) and no significant southern obstructions, this building is the perfect for our solar endeavors. A solar roof study determined the ideal install size to be 81.5 kW, requiring 444 Shucco 180-185 watt panels.
