This week, Seattle Aquarium generated Kilowatt-hours of electricity.From fossil-fueled sources, this amount of electricity would have emitted lbs of CO2 into the atmosphere.

This could power:

  • An electric toothbrush for

Solar Assisted Water Heater Demonstration Project
On the south facing wall of Pier 59 there are five glass solar panels. These panels absorb the sun’s energy to preheat water used by the aquarium's café.
This solar water heating system lowers the amount of natural gas needed by the café, reducing CO2 emissions by 2.5 tons annually. Solar water heating systems can be used in combination with electric and natural gas water heaters.
A home solar hot water system can reduce our reliance on fossils fuels while improving air quality and reducing climate-warming emissions.
The Aquarium Solar Project is a collaborative project made possible with funding and support from Seattle City Light.
