The Solar Strand at the University at Buffalo is a visually striking collection of 3,200 photovoltaic panels designed by renowned landscape architect Walter Hood. Measuring 140 feet across and approximately a quarter-mile long, this innovative installation was funded by the New York Power Authority in partnership with UB.
Notably, the Solar Strand serves as both a sustainable energy source and an educational space. Hood's artistic vision aimed to create a place where the community can engage with science and technology, with each of the three largest configurations featuring outdoor classroom spaces for students to study and reflect.
With a focus on accessibility and education, the Solar Strand stands out as one of the most publicly accessible solar panel installations globally. Breaking down barriers commonly associated with solar projects, this installation invites visitors to ponder the possibilities of renewable energy while offering a tangible connection between energy generation and consumption.
