That’s pretty impressive. The carports at my apartment could use those! I wonder how the company uses it? Do they sell it to residents or use it to offset their resident’s energy bill?
These should be in every parking area in Arizona and California not to mention New Mexico and all sothern sunny states.
What a great stacked purpose, shade and energy.
Where I live lots of houses are being demolish to be converted into huge parking lots. The sun hits the cars everyday and it gets worst in the summer where you can actually cook on y our cars roof.
This application makes parking lots even a better business!!! I want one of those!!!
