Terrasmart, the renewable energy arm of Gibraltar Industries, and Melink Solar have completed the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden’s new solar carport.
Terrasmart designed and manufactured the 2.8 MW project’s racking system, performing the installation in partnership with lead EPC Melink Solar. With this solar carport, the zoo’s total 4.55 MW of on-site solar capacity meets two-thirds of its power needs.
“Executing this project for the Cincinnati Zoo aligns deeply with our mission to build sustainability for our clients,” says Melink Solar CEO Seth Parker. “We are honored to support the zoo’s commitment to environmental stewardship and proud to have collaborated with all of our partners on this project.”
The system integrated 5,000 bifacial modules connected via string inverter technology. The carport will provide shade for about 800 vehicles.
To help offset energy poverty in the neighborhood, the zoo also has financed an additional 165 kW of solar panels through its Community Solar Resiliency Program to support smaller local installations.

Every day, our nation’s face is pushed a little bit further into the toilet.
Gotta love the creativity, and certainly the sentiment, that is captured by the artist whose work we see here.
In reality, however, Lady Liberty should be depicted sitting with slumped shoulders, tears rolling down her cheeks.
There has never been a moment anything like the present in U.S. history. A sociopathic criminal in the White House, bolstered by traitors in both Congress and the Supreme Court.
It’s always encouraging to see the emergence of another brilliant astrophysicist into our culture — not that his message here is particularly encouraging.
