The center is named for local philanthropists Mary Solari and her late husband, Dick Solari. The naming honors the couple\u2019s longstanding commitment to the community and their $500,000 donation in 2008 to establish an endowment for the 14,000-square-foot center, which opened in 2012. Located in downtown Watsonville, it serves as a regional resource for training students in sustainable design, energy management and green technology. Dick Solari, a prominent Watsonville native and former chairman of Granite Construction, died Jan. 25, 2008, at age 82.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.santacruzsentinel.com\/2026\/06\/01\/photo-solari-green-technology-center-in-watsonville-serves-as-regional-resource\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solari Green Technology Center in Watsonville serves as regional resource \u2013 Santa Cruz Sentinel https:\/\/www.santacruzsentinel.com\/2026\/06\/01\/photo-solari-green-technology-center-in-watsonville-serves-as-regional-resource\/&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":261450,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.santacruzsentinel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/STC-L-GREENTECH-0602.jpg?w=1024&h=675","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64],"class_list":["post-261449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology","tag-energy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261449"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=261449"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261449\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":261451,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261449\/revisions\/261451"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/261450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=261449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=261449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=261449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
