18. Solar meadow
Simply amazing! Take a look at the first ever solar meadow at Edinburgh College Midlothian Campus. Made up of 2,560 solar panels and costing £1.2m, the meadow will function as an innovative research centre to monitor the performance of solar panels under different environmental stimulate. Energy generated by the panels will allow the campus to meet its electricity needs from renewable sources and reduce its carbon emissions by 300,000 kg per annum.
