Cities Investigating Solar Carports

Cities like Tarrytown, New York, are planning solar carport installations. In addition to providing shade to help keep cars cool, the solar panels will produce electricity that one day can be used to recharge electric cars.

Implementation of solar and the increased use of electric cars will help reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. Cities hope that installing solar carports, they will help encourage the use of electric cars and property owners installing solar on their own properties.
