solar panels provide shade in parking lot ▶ Archived

Description

I was visiting Tokai-Mura, Japan, and one of their parking lots at a Civic building had solar panels over most of the parking lot. They were high enough up that their movement did not interfere with cars. The cars got to be parked in shade, and the lights were under the solar panels so there were lights on the support poles and less light pollution escaping upward. I thought this would be great for John Hunt park. I can ask my family to send pictures if you like. The panels were just like the ones at Airport and the parkway, just higher up.
