A 22-acre solar farm in the shape of Mickey Mouse's head has been unveiled at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.

The five-megawatt Walt Disney World Solar Farm, built by Duke Energy over the course of five months, will produce enough electricity to be able to power 1,000 homes.

Large enough to be seen from space, the project is part of a 15-year agreement that allows Duke Energy to run the farm in exchange for powering the theme park, News6 reported.

Consisting of 48,000 panels arranged in the shape of Mickey Mouse's head, the 22-acre farm can produce five megawatts of electricity, which is enough to power 1,000 homes

Disney is leasing its land to Duke Energy, which will run the farm and power the company's resort and other hotels in exchange. The farm is large enough to be seen from space

Disney and Duke Energy officials flipped a giant switch on Tuesday to mark the farm's official unveiling, even though the farm's 48,000 panels have been producing energy since March, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

Disney is leasing the land to Duke Energy, which will sell the electricity to Reedy Creek Improvement District, a special jurisdiction which governs the company's land and oversees the water, roads and fire protection in the area.

The electricity will be fed to Disney World as well as hotels in the area.

The Epcot's Universe of Energy building had solar panels installed in 1982, the Orlando Sentinel reported, and this is just the latest eco-friendly project for both companies.

Duke Energy has plans to expand its solar power projects, with another farm in the works slated to be the size of 20 football fields.

Duke Energy Florida President Alex Glenn said: 'By using alternative energy, we are putting our creativity to work and finding innovative ways to help preserve the planet.'

Disney is also looking to vamp up its environmental credentials by using a clean diesel fuel made from vegetable oil on the company's buses in order to cut carbon emissions.
