Enough power for 10 air-conditioned Scottsdale homes for one year is now being produced at completed solar installations on the roofs of two City facilities, the Via Linda Campus carports and the Civic Center Library. Although, neither installation can be seen from the ground, there is signage at the Via Linda site and there will be a sign and a special display soon at the Civic Center site. The Civic Center installation is the better known technology, the fixed solar panels. The Via Linda installation is a photovoltaic laminate roofing material.
