XSeed Energy's First Installation:
Ann Arbor's Michigan Theater

We are thrilled to announce our first installation of solar panels on downtown Ann Arbor's historic Michigan Theater. The panels, which will be mounted on an innovative solar awning frame, take advantage of the ideal solar exposure of the south-facing wall of the main theater space. This wall is set back from Liberty Street and from the front of the retail/office building by about 58 feet, and has excellent solar access with minimal shading from surrounding buildings.

The Michigan Theater was selected for the initial XSeed Energy installation for many reasons, including the potential for public visibility of a solar awning from the sidewalk across the street. 

Why would we want it to be highly visible? The goal of XSeed Energy is to educate our community about the value of solar energy. Our installations will be funded mostly by you, members of the community, who are interested in contributing to an investment in the future viability of Ann Arbor and the surrounding area.
