UK's First Solar Powered Theme Park: Devon’s Crealy Great Adventure Park

Plans have been unveiled for a solar electricity system to power Devon’s Crealy Great Adventure Park.
Located near Exeter in the UK, the 100-acre theme park would become the nation's first to run its rides with solar energy.

The proposed solar farm will generate enough electricity to meet around 90% of the park’s needs during the days of peak summer months, which includes the operation of the park’s roller coaster.

The facility would incorporate 18, 580 square meters of solar panels on the rooftop of Devon’s Crealy Great Adventure Park’s main buildings and PV modules covering carports in the main car park - providing shade for visitor's cars as well as generating clean electricity from the sun.
