Don't know if you all are into alternative energy and whatnot, but check this out.
Think about it, solar energy is the intended goal and byproduct- whereas daytime shade is an unintended but welcomed byproduct of the solar structures!! Seems like a totally harmonious symbiosis to me... come on UMass and others (shopping centers maybe...) to jump on this bandwagon! I mean, if you could park your vehicle in the shade while dropping into EB, Home Depot, Wally World (well, who goes there anyway lol), Stop & Shop, etc and at the same time be benefitting from clean/ renewable energy then what more can you want.... other than plugging in your E- car into those solar carport things!!!
Alright, rant/ ramble over...
Peace
