In August of 2000 several Northwest power concerns worked together to commission three significant photovoltaic arrays in Ashland. One of these is atop the University's Hannon Library, and is shown in this rooftop photo. Photovoltaic arrays are solar cells, packaged into panels, which convert solar photo-energy (sunlight) directly into commercial grade electricity.

The Hannon Array consists of 24 solar panels connected together to send its output direct current electricity through a power conversion device (inverter) that feeds directly into the City of Ashland's 3-phase power grid, at 220 volts AC. This system has been faithfully producing its peak 5 kw since installation.
