it was installed in 2001. when we started our push to be one of the greenest county facilities in the country. so the ones here on the roof don't move or anything but take the sun in to create energy. the ones behind us on the hillside, those go ahead and rotate with the sun as it passes over, to be more efficient. we then installed more on the services building and those actually heat up the water for the entire facility. >> in all santa rita has 9,000 rooftop solar panels and another 1,100 installed on the hillside behind the jail. to maximize use of renewable resources the jail installed five wind turbines and hydrogen fuel cell power plant it serves as a pollution-free source of electricity and heat. >> we wanted to be a leader in the area and do something good for the earth. >> in the jail's protective custody wing, an unusual church service might be doing some good for inmates who otherwise would be enemies.
