A start-up company called
Envision Solar has begun installing solar canopies in the parking lots of shopping centers.
These lots, usually barren, heat-producing landscapes, can now provide shade for customers, while generating up to a half-megawatt of electricity.
Envision’s “Solar Groves” incorporate lights that turn on automatically at night, while blocking skyward
light pollution.
Envision Solar believes that energy should be clean and accessible to everyone. Solar energy is one of the leading sustainable solutions to the world’s dependence on carbon fuels. We intend to provide durable and attractive integrated photovoltaic systems to help lead the worldwide transition to renewable energy use.
