A new project at Phoenix Public Library is helping build a sustainable city. Construction begins today (
July 5th) on the installation of 42 SolarWings in the north parking lot of Burton Barr Central Library at 1221 N. Central Ave. Each SolarWing covers two parking spaces for a total of 84 covered parking spaces with lighting at night. Once completed, the project will be capable of providing 148.05kW DC of power for the library.
Construction will occur in two phases to minimize inconvenience to library customers. The $1.3 million project is funded by an Energy Efficiency Conservation Block Grant through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
