How cool is this? Cincinnati Zoo installs 6400 solar panels, on canopies in the parking lot. So visitors for the day get to park in the shade of the solar panels.
Produces 20% of the zoo's energy, massively reduces it's carbon footprint, will save the zoo millions in energy over the lifetime.
What a great use of open parking lot-type spaces.
