SOLAR CANOPIES:
Helping solve the climate crisis
Have you ever wished that the parking lots at the beach were shaded? Have you wondered why that space is not used for solar energy?
Lindsay Audin, one of the stars of the renewable energy movement, is working to expand solar installations across the entire state with solar canopies over parking lots. A solar canopy is essentially a shade structure with solar panels on top of it, keeping parking lots cooler while making free electricity.
Lindsay will explain the policy change needed to install solar canopies all over the state and how close we are to passing the necessary bill, A6838– and how YOU can help.
