Putting solar on the ground uses land. Land is valuable.
This method adds no land use. It also provides a roof for the users of the path.
Solar above car parks is great too -- it provides shade, means you don't get wet getting out of the car, and it provides energy.
- JoeAltmaier 3y agoWay overestimating the cost of rural land. You want a roof, build a roof. You want solar, build a solar farm. You should no more put solar over other structures than grow radishes up there. It's a terrible idea from every point of view (except eco-theatre).
- usrusr 3y agoThat kind of frontier attitude "if we need more land we'll just build a longer road into the desert" won't fly anywhere within a thousand kilometers from where that bike path roof is built.
