Seems a pretty solid use of space, if you're gonna have all this paved space for cars anybow why not keep them cool and generate power at the same time?

They have solar over the six flags lots nearest to me too, definitely makes walking in the parking lot more comfortable and saves the car from going into oven mode!
If it was common practice to put solar panels over every big parking lot in the US, renewables could pull their weight so much better.
Fuck cars, but this is how you deploy solar.
I’ve been saying this since the whole solar road bullshit started.
Stupid cities required parking be built at each building, there should require solar over that parking next.
Absolutely. The solar road and rail things are just startups trying to make some quick cash. The real solution is to add shade with solar and put it on top of buildings. Even fields of solar is good, you can use a small amount of space for massive gains. It's all push back from the right, who are in the pockets of billionaires, otherwise it's a simple problem to solve.
Or you could just build a multi level parking space.
Why waste so much space for only ground level?
They could rent and so much land for developers to use instead of just one. Weird things the US does...
The solar wave is coming to the US. It makes too much financial sense for misinformation to overcome. Fuck big oil!
They need solar on the lines to every rollercoaster. Including the one that kills people lol... Not lol. I rode the X2 and its fine. But people who are susceptible to high Gs should not ride it.
Basted on the east coast parks, the solar probably brings in more money than the park :)
