Six Flags Magic Mountain in California is building a massive canopy of solar panels over its 30-acre parking lot that will power all of the rides and offset 100% of the amusement park’s energy usage while providing shade to the cars parked beneath.
When completed, it will be California’s largest solar energy project & the world’s largest renewable energy site built by a for-profit organization.
Way to go, Six Flags!
@darwinwoodka @erinwhalen you will only find solar over established parking lots (e.g. city owned, hospital, college) because of money.
Many flat (non structure) parking lot owners are waiting to sell the property to a developer. They don't have money.
They don't have the intent to keep using the property as a parking lot for 10+ years to allow the install to pay for itself.
These places don't invest in electric charging for the same reasons.
