The Solar Panel Array is the primary electrical generation system for Project: Flamenco.
It is a key component of the "Blue-Green-Solar Roof" concept. The panels are mounted on the warehouse roof, but are integrated with the other roof systems to create a powerful synergy:
1. The panels are mounted *above* the Green Roof. 2. The "evapotranspiration" (sweating) from the green roof's plants creates a micro-climate of cooler air directly under the panels. 3. This cooling effect mitigates the efficiency loss that solar panels typically suffer from in extreme heat, boosting their overall output.
The panels also serve a structural role, forming the opaque, South-facing side of the North-Facing Roof Monitors.
