Nearby in Bruges, the Plubic Welfare places 4560 solar panels throughout the whole site, including solar carports. Each row of parkings normally has a few charging stations for cars/bikes



But the true eye catcher are 12 huge tracker solar arrays. No real picture to be found for the moment, but I saw them in real life and they are absolutely stunning!

In Portland, OR (Where my company installs these), the carport will provide enough annual energy to offset a Model S 18,500 miles a year.
In Southern CA, that will provide enough annual energy to offset a Model S driving 25,000 miles a year.
