The panels will help supply power to the building, which was completed in 2006. How much of a dent that will put in its power consumption is unknown, but the amount is probably a small fraction of what the building will use, city officials say.
The important thing, says Councilman Greg Stanton, is that the panels are a groundbreaking effort for Phoenix.
The $850,000 project will be the biggest solar-panel installation on a downtown building, and it’s the first time this type of solar-energy technology has been used by Phoenix, APS officials say.
