Liberty Ship II Solar, Sausalito, CA [While at StewartΣSucci]

This project provides 95% of all electrical power required by the 3 buildings on the site, totaling 120,000 SF. The geometry of the site requred us to design 6 different solar panel supporting structures, including an elegant solar tree. The solar tree utilizes the double HIT Sanyo panel which outputs 10 to 15% more power thanks to the ambient lighting captured on the back of the panel.

The following animation shows how the solar trees can be shipped flat, planted on site, and unfolded to receive the array of solar panels.
