There are many hidden images of Mickey Mouse throughout Disney World. But you'll only see this one from the air. Disney World recently completed its largest hidden Mickey. It's a 11.5-acre arrangement of solar panels.
Disney worked with Duke Energy to develop the facility. It produces 5 megawatts, which is as much electricity as might come from 1,000 home rooftop solar energy systems. You can read more about it at the Orlando Weekly.

That is it. Passed by it many times in my travels up that way.

The original theory was that the excess power from your solar array would power my air conditioning on sunny days. They wanted the power transfered to the grid so discouraged batteries. Now they are considering subsidizing them.

You mean all solar homes don't have batteries already? That seems like a given.

Reminds me of the power line tower along I-4 outside of Orlando near Disneyworld. Wish I had a photo of it.
