A pilot project in Prince George has led to the installation of BC’s very first solar panel parking lot.
The project is the result of a partnership between the City and Wattway Solar Panels, who offered to entirely fund the project at no cost to the city.
20 square metres of panels were installed in the parking lot of city hall and linked to the building’s power grid.
No additional construction was required to complete the install, as the ultra-thin panels top out at just millimetres above the lot’s surface.
