A
SOLAR TOUR OF ANAHEIM
It can be difficult to get a look at a solar project, particularly
a commercial project, as most PV systems are mounted on rooftops and
are out of sight. In other instances, the systems are visible, but
are disguised in ways that make it less obvious that you are looking
a PV system.
That is why we have put together A Solar Tour of Anaheim. The photovoltaic
(PV) projects listed below are active, operating, power producing
facilities in our community, which have been sponsored by your Anaheim
Public Utilities.
