Toledo Zoo Relies on Solar Power
May 08, 2016
What makes a company or institution decide to pursue renewable energy resources? For the Toledo Zoo, pursuing renewable energy, and specifically solar, was part of their overall conservation efforts. Implementing solar power not only helped the Zoo achieve conservation goals, but also gave them visibility into their future electricity costs and consumption.
Ultimately the Zoo chose to implement both a solar array and a solar walkway. Both solar power sources continue to reap dividends, first as a source of cost savings, and also as a method of community education.
