About the Green Mountain Energy® Solar at the Houston Zoo

• The 6.4 kW Green Mountain Energy® Solar at the Houston Zoo is installed on the back wall and roof of the Houston Zoo’s lion house.
  
  
• The Solar array produces 38% of the lion exhibit’s demand (at peak hours), and will produce 8,188 kWh a year. 
  
  
• Each year this solar array can offset over 17,500 lbs. of carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas that is a leading contributor of global warming. That’s equivalent to not driving over 19,000 miles a year, planting more than 1,000 trees or recycling over 44,000 aluminum cans.
