SmartPower President Brian F. Keane designates library as free solar site

Above: SmartPower President Brian F. Keane delivers remarks at a press conference outside of the Acacia Library in Sunnyslope – a neighborhood in Phoenix, AZ – on Thursday, May 26. To the right is Phoenix City Councilman Bill Gates. Gates and Keane were on hand to announce that the library, which narrowly escaped shutdown in a recent round of budget cuts, will be the future home of free solar panels that Sunnyslope is eligible to earn by participating in the Arizona Solar Challenge.
