A six module array of custom bipv with emerald-green colored cells graces the stainless steel clock tower at Sea Tac International Airport.

Coordination with the custom art glass Peters Studio and the Port resulted in a visually striking piece of photovoltaic artwork. Each module is tilted toward the sun at a slightly different angle, an electrical challenge that adds visual interest.
