Car parking has become eco-friendly and this initiative helps in saving the environment. Sanyam Indurkhya tells us the advantage of solar car parking.
- Save on energy bills: This is a more obvious advantage of a solar panel shade structure. With the amount of energy your solar panels are able to capture, you will be able to reduce or even eliminate your building’s electric bill.
- Shade your vehicles: The solar panels, while absorbing the sun, will also prevent it from beating down on cars all day (UV rays can damage car surfaces). If you have had your car sitting in the sun on a hot day, you will know how oppressive the heat can be. This way, you will save on fuel because you won’t need to have the air conditioning on full blast to return your vehicle to a comfortable temperature.
- Won’t stick out like a sore thumb: These panels will not look like some kind of space-aged technology, lurking over your parking lots. It can be customized to fit in with the other structures on your property, and in most cases, this won’t look like anything but structures intended to provide shade or protection from the elements to the cars underneath.
- Low maintenance and long lasting: Once a solar panel system is installed, it will require little maintenance, especially if there are no batteries being used. One of these solar systems can provide electricity for 25 to 40 years. As this is a natural resource, it is much more reliable and less expensive than certain fossil fuels.
