A group of “solar superheroes” sprang into action to install solar panels on the roof of the new KidsQuest Children’s Museum on Tuesday, Sept. 1.

The four superheroes, outfitted in blue and yellow costumes, installed 16 solar panels onto the roof of the building. The panels were donated to the museum by the Solarize Bellevue program contractor, A&R Solar.

“The Board of Directors and staff at KidsQuest Children’s Museum are grateful for the generous donation from A&R Solar in support of the Solarize Bellevue program,” said KidsQuest board member Pete Miller. “Generating electricity on the roof of our new building will help us reduce operating expenses, allowing us to spend more of our revenue on excellent programming for children. We are also excited to incorporate this feature into our educational programming on renewable energy.”

This is the second system donated on behalf of Solarize Bellevue– last year, the Bellevue Boys and Girls Club Teen Center received a free unit.

The KidsQuest Museum will relocate from their current location in the Marketplace @ Factoria to the building on 108th Avenue N.E. in fall 2016.
