    Was wäre, wenn jeder Parkplatz gleichzeitig als Solarpark dienen würde? Kanada macht es möglich

      Its a great idea
      Couple new fire houses in southern Ontario have them installed in the parking lot
      If we could do a few big lots like Walmart or Costco it would be a big jump un the right direction

      I find it interesting when you look at satellite imagery (eg Google or Apple Maps), how many industrial and commercial buildings are already covered by solar panels. Placing them over parking lots is the logical next step.

      An added bonus being protecting your vehicles from rainy weather and sun damage. Win-win.

      Already happening in Calfiornia where many schools over the last decade have had solar installed over their parking lots. Works great, looks great, and adds real benefits to already allocated space.

      They did this everywhere where I lived in Australia. Always thought it was a great idea.

      Unfortunately the sunniest places in Canada are actually in Alberta. You would get the highest ROI. But they said „no thank you“ to millions of solar investments.

      So Mohawk College installed one and that means „Canada is making it happen“? I’m not saying I’m not supportive of the idea, but „Canada making it happen“ would mean we would have a law, and incentives, and funding to add this to every parking lot… we’re not doing that.

      Remember solar roadways?, and how anyone with a lick of sense said it was a terrible idea and to put the panels over parking lots instead?

      About time.

      I like this idea. I wonder what the added cost to existing infrastructure will be with all the power needing to be fed back into the system.

      What if Canada invested more public transport so we could move people more efficiently and use less power that way?

      A surface lot with solar panels is better than a lot without solar panels, but almost any other land use is better than parking. It increases sprawl, encourages car dependence, and erodes the community.
