Central Oregon Museum To Run On Sunlight Power
Pacific Power is installing a
$ 100,000 solar power system at the
High Desert Museum near Bend,
marking the first commercial use of
photovoltaic power in Oregon.
Pacific Power is testing the
extent to which photovoltaics can
supplem ent the b u ild in g ’s elec­
tricity needs and reduce its use of
electricity from pow er lines.
T h e u tility w ill c o n d u c t
around-the-clock m onitoring o f
the pro ject and share the date
with the D epartm ent o f Energy
and Sandia N ational L aborato­
ries, co-sponsors o f the project.
“Tuming solar energy into com­
mercially, cost-effective power has
been one of the nation’s biggest ener­
gy challengers,” said Clark Satre,
Pacific Power district manager in
Bend. "Pacific Power’s installation
at the High Desert Museum under­
scores our leadership role in testing
this technology, which has great en­
vironmental benefits. It fits into our
sim ilar to a typical energy effi­
ciency m easure.
The solar system will reduce
the am ount o f e le c tric ity the
building requires. If the b u ild ­
in g 's energy requirem ents fall
below the solar system 's output,
the extra electricity will be add­
ed to Pacific P o w er’s electricity
grid.
The efficiency and life ex­
pectancy o f photovoltaic projects
have im proved considerably over
strategy to make renewable energy
part of our resource mix.”
Don Kerr, president of the mu­
seum, said the museum is delighted
to provide a site for Pacific Power to
research alternative power sources
like solar energy. The project nicely
supports a museum goal to promote
wise use of the region’s natural re­
sources.
Satre said the installation will
produce five kilow atts o f elec­
tricity and will have an effect

Russell o f A scension T echnolo­
gy in W altham , M ass., the en g i­
neering firm for the project.
“ The panels we are using at
The High D esert Museum are the
largest in the industry and have
the highest pow er output,” he
said.
The environm ental benefits
also make photovoltaic attra c­
tive. Solar power produces no
em issions and is renewable.
