Seattle Aviation Museum Bets on Solar Power

Despite Seattle’s reputation for cloudy weather, the Museum of Flight plans to make the most of the sunlight available. Its west campus, which includes the Space Gallery and Aviation Pavilion, is gradually moving toward full energy independence through the use of solar panels. The initiative is expected to make the museum’s operations more environmentally friendly and reduce its reliance on traditional electricity sources.
