Called the Solar Forest, the panels actually follow the sun throughout the day for maximum efficiency. And that canopy provides some much needed shade for the cars below, hopefully while keeping the overlap to a minimum.
The tree trunks are like a giant power strips for electric vehicles. Cars can just plug in and cool off.

I want a franchise so I can charge all the people posted above through the nose, double. Once for cooling the sap's cars and once again for charging the sap's car batteries. Whew, baby, gonna be rich, gonna be rich, gonna be rich.

If all covered parking lots had solar panels we'd be set for transforming to electric cars. Park your car at home or work and have it charged for the ride back.

Wow, 1964 Worlds Fair stuff - Still waiting for the flying cars!
This is not financially feasible - a more realistic approach would be more along the lines of your typical gas station w/ a solar canopy.

Good idea! If you package it to run your pool pump and lights I'll bet every one would have it.
