A rooftop solar system is being installed at the historic Peoples Bank building as restoration work continues. Technicians position each panel onto mounting brackets, secure them into place and connect the wiring to microinverters that convert solar energy into usable electricity for the building.

Installed in aligned rows across the roof, the system is designed to capture maximum sunlight while remaining largely out of view from the street. The solar array introduces modern energy efficiency to the building—supporting long-term operation while preserving the architectural character of this Cleveland Street landmark.

Wiring connections are made between solar panels and microinverters.
