Photo Gallery

With the installation of approximately 4,300 square feet of Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) material, observing the construction of Mary Ann Cofrin Hall, the new University of Wisconsin-Green Bay classroom building, will be a rare and enlightening educational experience for anyone interested in renewable energy. This photo gallery hopes to capture the steps involved with the installation of these photovoltaic products, namely the Standing Seam Metal Roofing and Vision Glass. Devices that function behind-the-scenes will also be featured.

		Aerial View of Mary Ann Cofrin Hall Six-photo slide show with aerial view of the new University of Wisconsin-Green Bay classroom building (at left). Large view also available.
		Aerial View of Photovoltaic Installation Nine-photo slide show depicting ongoing construction of Mary Ann Cofrin Hall, the new University of Wisconsin-Green Bay classroom building from September 1999 through September 2001 (at left). Large view of photos are also available.
		Standing Seam Metal Roofing One hundred 128-watt laminated modules were installed on the south-facing wing of the new classroom building in January 2001. Seven-photo slide show (at left) depicts the arrival of the panel shipment. More detailed photos of the roof installation process are also available.
		Vision Glass Two hundred and fifty-two 43-watt, thin-film photovoltaic modules were installed in a glass curtain wall in the Wintergarden of Mary Ann Cofrin Hall. This occurred in March 2001. Two-photo slide show (at left) shows the finished vision glass array and artist's rendering of the Wintergarden. Detailed photos of the installation process are also available.
		Power Conversion System In January 2001, two Trace Technologies inverters were installed to achieve the DC (direct current) to AC (alternating current) power conversion required for the photovoltaic modules. Twelve-photo slide show (at left) captures the arrival of the system shipment.
