Sep. 2–While Dr. Harold and Terri Loveall’s Vigo County barn looks like any other in Indiana, it’s what’s on top of the south-facing sloping roof that makes it very unique.
The 66- by 28-foot roof supports 60 photovoltaic solar panels, each producing 224-watts of electricity. The panels are aligned in four rows, or two sub-arrays, with each sub-array producing 6.7 kilowatts, making the entire system produce 13.4 kilowatts of electricity, said Phillip Roberts, owner of One Planet Solar & Wind, a Terre Haute solar and wind distributing and contracting company that recently installed the system.
