Sep 27, 2023 - How to fight climate change with parking lots

The easiest and cheapest places to install solar panels are often large, undeveloped plots of land. It`s why, in many places across the country, we`ve seen rural areas — including fragile desert ecosystems and valuable farmland — turned into solar farms. Many local residents and conservationists have protested these rural solar projects for a variety of reasons: Some want to keep natural views, others want to retain space for agriculture or aim to preserve biodiversity. Solar will likely play an important role in the country`s move away from fossil fuels — but is there a smarter way to do it that doesn`t require taking up so much rural land? In the video above, we explore one option that could help: parking lots. Solar photovoltaics researcher and professor Joshua Pearce goes into the data on how placing solar canopies over parking lots could be a worthwhile investment for many cities. And as more countries, like France, are moving toward retrofitting parking spaces with solar, we look at what it could mean in the US.
