Solar canopies installed at Parrot World

Parrot World, a wildlife park near Paris, has installed 3.5 MWc of solar canopies on its visitor parking lot. The installation, developed and implemented by Urbasolar, covers nearly 1.5 hectares, or 53% of the parking lot.

Scale of the solar project

The solar power plant is expected to produce about 4 GWh of renewable electricity annually, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of approximately 1,880 people. This amount of energy could power many homes and reduce reliance on non-renewable sources.

Environmental goals of the park

The project aligns with Parrot World's mission to raise public awareness of nature preservation and reduce its environmental impact. The park aims to serve as a model for sustainable practices in the tourism and wildlife sectors.

Statement from park founder

Eric Vignot, founder and president of Parrot World and Parrot Wildlife Foundation, stated that this achievement fits into the park's commitment to these goals. He emphasized the importance of combining education with practical environmental solutions.
