home power had some pics in an article I think.
Definatly recall swing a conventional cannopy and the "store" flat roof of a gas station retrofitted. A ppa project developer at last years sp trade show had pics in his booth. Sorry I don't recall his name.
Bp did 30 really nice cannopy arrays with thin film that was glazed into nice curved roof steel structure. Partially translucent, really cool.
No signage, employees at the register had no idea it was pv. Used suntie... Probably dead.
Oh well.
