Michael Powell, owner of Powell's Books and daughter Emily invested in the 100 Killowatt photovoltaic system on its Powells.com/warehouse facility in NW Portland.
PV panels are mounted to a custom engineered frame system.
The frame system lifts panels off the roof and tilts them at a precise angle to the sun, optimizing efficiency.
Powell's PV system is designed with 540 individual solar panels.
This row of panels is one of nine rows of solar panels on the roof.
Powell's City of Books is an independent bookstore in Portland, Oregon, that fills a whole city block with more than a million new, used, and out of print books. Shop those shelves — plus literally millions more books, DVDs, and eBooks — here at Powells.com.
