If you're concerned that maybe the shopping strip down the street wasn't such a great idea after all--worry not! Envision Solar is helping to justify unsustainable practices by providing the faรงade of sustainable solutions. The "Envision Solar Grove" is a canopy of photo voltaic solar panels that covers a parking lot.
My first thought when finding out about the solar canopy was: GREAT! Sure hope my gas guzzling SUV will fit under one of these things! And--as provided by the Envision Solar gallery--here you have it:
Yes, your SUV will fit under the solar panels. With all that energy saving, heck, why not upgrade to a Hummer!
Although solar canopies do provide a source of alternative energy, by no means should sustainablility be associated with parking lots. Frankly, the construction of a parking lot that vehemently parades the title "Solar Grove" is a step backwards in green building.
