Disney's New Solar Farm Looks Like Mickey Mouse

(Photo: Near Map)

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.

There are so many residential solar installations in California, that the ISO is getting worried about over generation. The graph describing the issue is called "The Duck Curve". This version shows that one solution is for solar homes to install batteries.

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

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