We continue our report about the installation of a set of solar panels that will provide power for lighting in the visitors parking lot and for the visitors path from the parking lot to the entrance of the visitors center. The support structure is in place and has been painted.

The steel frames for the solar panels are mounted onto the cylindrical girder in such a way that the frame can be adjusted to the angle of the sun.

Here we can see the heavy brackets in place [see the welding process in report from 2/27/08]. This work was made possible by a Rural Tourism Development Grant of $50,000, received from the Arizona Office of Tourism (AOT), to enhance the Visitors' Parking and Access area of the site.
We continue this series of reports on 3/3/08.
