Cincinnati Zoo’s New Solar Carport Becomes America’s Largest Publicly Accessible Urban Array

The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden has unveiled a new 2.8 MW solar carport, making it the largest publicly accessible urban solar array in the United States. The project, completed by Terrasmart and Melink Solar, will provide shade for 800 vehicles while generating enough clean energy to meet two-thirds of the zoo’s power needs. This significant investment in renewable energy further reinforces the zoo’s commitment to sustainability and its goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2025.
