Solar panels in clever places

Date May 26, 2008

solar_parking_lotEnvision Solar has thought up a new place to install solar panels: in parking lots.

These lots, usually barren, heat-producing landscapes, can now provide shade for customers, while generating up to a half-megawatt of electricity. Envision’s “Solar Groves” incorporate lights that turn on automatically at night, while blocking skyward light pollution. — metafficient.com

Frick yeah! Now that’s what I call forward thinking. I had ideas of putting solar panels on the roof of every building in the city but this seems much simpler and more feasible. It’s these kinds of ideas that will shape the world of the future.

If you really want to see this happen, one could take the idea to malls or places with big parking lots and introduce the idea to the manager or owner. Take a finder’s fee for introducing the idea and hook them up with a company that’ll do this. No better way to be proactive.
