Summary
A British business is pioneering the installation of solar panel canopies over car parks to generate renewable energy for electric vehicle charging. Three car parks in and around Bristol, including one used by Avon and Somerset Police, have already been fitted with these solar car ports. Estimates suggest the solar canopies could save approximately £28,000 in electricity costs, and similar technology is already in use across France, Germany, and the United States.
