Hyde Observatory is a stacked facility. As a community access astronomical observatory, it regularly opens its doors to sky-gazers. But it also has been at the vanguard of solar energy. Since 1978, or for some 11,315 days, the Observatory has metamorphosed sun rays into pure, clean energy. The photovoltaic panels adorning the rooftop now provide 40% of the building's energy--while any extra energy is funneled back to LES.
Erik Hubl, a Lancaster County G.I.S. Engineer and Hyde Observatory volunteer, shares his insights into Hyde's solar past and solar future:
