Never a company to miss a moment for on-point branding, a new Disney solar farm in Florida is shaped like the head of beloved character Mickey Mouse.
The facility was built by Duke Energy Florida, which in May 2015 announced it would be building a large solar farm near the Walt Disney World Resort. In a statement, it said the facility’'s 48,000 solar panels would be arranged in a "Disney-inspired" design -- clearly Aladdin, Simba or Mulan lost out and the company went with a classic.
In images supplied to Mashable by aerial imagery service NearMap, Mickey's silhouette, formed by three huge circles, is unmistakable.
According to Duke Energy Florida, the 20 acre project will serve the power provider to Walt Disney World, Reedy Creek Improvement District, and will be completed in spring 2016. Too bad you'll need a helicopter to appreciate it.
