Orlando's sprawling convention center is about to "go green" in a big way this year with the installation of a massive solar-power system on the roof of its North/South Building.

Workers are to begin installing the system this month and complete their work in May, said Jerry Daigle, deputy general manager of the Orange County Convention Center.

Center officials boast that the solar array will be the largest rooftop photovoltaic system in the southeastern U.S., and they hope it will become a "national highlight."

"We're excited about it," said Tom Ackert, the center's executive director. "It can become a demonstration model for not only other convention centers, but commercial buildings."
