ACCC plans solar carports to trim energy bill
The parking lots of Atlantic Cape Community College will get solar carports
The solar power purchase agreement with Pepco Energy Services of Atlantic City gives the company the authority to own, install and operate a parking canopy system on five parking lots on the Mays Landing campus and one at the Cape May Court House campus. College officials said in a statement issued with the announcement that it would be the largest single solar project on a community college campus in the nation.
Parking lots are probably the least attractive feature of any college campus. They're necessary, but eat up a lot of land.
Now they are becoming showpieces, demonstrating the colleges' commitment to green energy and financial efficiency.
