Parking in the Toledo Museum of Art Parking Lot

The Toledo Museum of Art's renovated parking lot has shaded parking beneath a solar panel array.

Our car will stay cool as the

 solar panels' collected energy

 provides electricity to the

museum.

On a sunny day, energy from

these solar panels provide

half the electricity the Toledo 

Museum of Art uses in one day.

I like the shaded sidewalk 

beneath the awning.

Charging sources are available
for electric cars here.

I've seen shaded parking in Texas and have thought that using solar panels to collect the sun's energy and shade cars would be very efficient.   I'm happy to see this configuration in use.
