For production information
on many of our solar installations
visit our PowerDash Energy Dashboard. |
Statewide, most of our staffed wildlife sanctuaries now produce some or all of the electricity they consume from arrays of photovoltaic (PV) panels. Four sanctuaries also produce domestic hot water from the sun, using solar thermal technology.
When you visit one of these sanctuaries, you'll see the power of the sun! Solar hot water and photovoltaic technologies can work well on many residences.
