Gulf Islands Secondary, on the Gym roof
84 solar panels will soon cover this roof.
Note the flat panels: two sheets of tempered glass with the solar voltaic cell layer in between. A svelte solar sandwich.

A few recent photos illustrate how the solar array is being constructed:
The most photographed boat in Ganges Harbour. Partly because it is so visually west coast and interesting. And partly because it’s tied up in a position that makes it part of everyone’s photos ;-)
It’s become an icon in the Harbour. It looks particularly good in the rain, in fog, and during a winter sunrise.
(searching below for seahorse or tug will find more images of this icon)
Some of the SaltSpring Air crew ham it up during a sunny break at the dock Thursday. Despite the apparent shenanigans, wind gusts actually reached a serious 70 kilometers per hour on the dock. Only one umbrella was harmed (but was later revived).
The mascots were comfortably disinterested in the whole thing.
Tugs wrangle a log boom in nearby Georgia Strait.
The only way to see this kind of view is from the air, this time courtesy of the good folks at SaltSpringAir who fly back and forth to Vancouver each day.
It’s just a driveway sign, but it’s a good one, and well looked after.
