When My Solar PV Array Meets the Sun

I find a certain utilitarian beauty in seeing my solar photovoltaic array bathed in full sunlight at midday.  The modules “pop” in the visual sense.  They are shiny and perfectly constructed and they reek of modernity.  And they are producing energy.

At the same time, I designed and constructed my array with the idea it might—after a fashion—look more organic.  Flowerish, maybe.  Perhaps, it might suggest the squared start of a tree.

My efforts are always up for debate.

I will say this, there are some sunrise events in which I find outright beauty in my solar PV array.  Yesterday morning provided one of those.  Today, I am posting two photographs from that sunrise.  I am also posting my favorite “array” sunrise.
