Another great concept. How about installing solar panels on the sides
and roofs of buildings like offices, factories, grocery stores, parking garages, etc. Also, the panels could be used to produce shade for
outdoor meetings, concerts and other such activities.
These panels could be add-ons on existing structures or installed as a part of new construction. The cost for these off-the-shelf items would
be offset by the generation of on-site power production and battery
storage when sunlight is not available.

This is the only Carbonfree generation of electricity besides wind turbines and nuclear power. Lets go with nature’s sun and wind.

Solar Today magazine (www.solartoday.org) in 1998 carried a cover story (I wrote it) about the solar bicycle charging stations that had then recently been installed in Palm Springs, California by the local transit agency, Los Angeles-based Sun Utility Network, and other organizations.
