Zoo solar projects through Evansville Climate Collaborative
Summary
The zoo landed three of 16 citywide solar projects: arrays on the Clay Memorial Building and Discovery Center roofs, plus a parking lot canopy array at Amazonia with possible emergency battery backup. The zoo pays back a loan to the water utility over roughly six years, then keeps the full utility savings.
