C.J. Conrad and Chris Orr of A&R Solar take solar panels from a lift on top of the Port Angeles Senior and Community Center on Peabody Street to be installed on the roof. The 117 panels are mostly made of silicone and will provide electrical power to the center. The crew members are each tied in with ropes to prevent any problems on the slippery slanted roof. The panels are 42 inches by 62 inches and weigh about 16 pounds. (Dave Logan/for Peninsula Daily News)
