    Construction workers are installing solar panels on a large elevated carport-style solar array structure. A scissor lift, branded 'Hertz', is being used to elevate workers to the underside of the panel framework for installation or fastening work. The structure extends far into the background, supported by cylindrical concrete columns over a gravel/dirt surface.

    Construction workers complete electrical connections on phase two of a solar microgrid project at Fort Hunter Liggett, Calif., March 12, 2013. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District managed construction of the project, awarding contracts of $8.4 million for phase one and $9.7 million for phase two. Phase two, scheduled for completion in May 2013, will generate one megawatt of power and is expected to be the second of four at the post. Phase one was completed in April 2012 and also generates one megawatt of power, enough energy to power 250 to 300 homes. Along with the energy production, the panel arrays form a canopy that will shade the majority of the post’s vehicles. Fort Hunter Liggett is one of six pilot installations selected by the U.S. Army to be net zero energy, meaning the installation will create as much energy as it uses.
