Scarborough's Sealife Centre have unveiled their new roof ahead of the coming tourist season.
The famous pyramids have been covered in solar panels as part of a roof renovation completed by specialist firm, Good Energy.
The 150 solar panels will produce around 70MWh of electricity for the Sea Life Centre each year, reducing their annual CO2 output by 13.4 tonnes.
