The new Natatorium on Georgia Institute of Technology’s campus in Atlanta, built to host the 1996 summer Olympic games, features a 340 kWp PV system on the main roof and a special arched glass PV canopy at the entrance to the complex. The roof-top PV system employs 2 832 120 Wp modules mounted above the steel roof deck to facilitate the free flow of cooling air below the array. The entry canopy features special large-area 250 Wp modules with a clear backskin to allow light transmission between the individual solar cells. The PV modules are integrated in a custom-designed arched aluminum support structure. [Copyright: Solar Design Associates Inc.]
