- W330765868 abstract "THE ACCESS ALMANAC Solar Parking Requirements DONALD SHOUP S O L A R P A N E L S H AV E B E G U N T O F I N D A N E W P L A C E I N T H E S U N — on parking lots surrounding commercial and industrial buildings, mounted on canopies providing shade for the parked cars. Parking lots in asphalt-rich cities have great solar potential because the panels can be oriented to maximize power production during summer afternoons when electricity is most valuable. Solar-powered parking lots can mitigate the substantial increase in peak-hour energy demand that major developments create, but few developers now install solar canopies over their parking lots. Although the demand for electricity peaks on days when the sun shines brightest, solar power accounts for less than 1 percent of our total electricity supply. How can cities increase power production from parking lots? They can incorporate solar power into their off-street parking requirements. Cities already specify a minimum number of parking spaces for every building, the minimum size of the spaces, and their landscaping. Cities could also specify that a share of these spaces be covered with solar panels to meet the increased peak-hour power demand created by new buildings. The rationale for requiring solar power in a parking lot resembles the rationale for requiring the parking lot itself. Because new buildings increase the demand for parking, cities require parking spaces to meet this demand. Similarly, new buildings increase the demand for electricity during peak hours, and a solar requirement for the parking spaces will help to meet this demand. Because the air conditioners for new buildings increase the risk of neighborhood power failure on hot summer days, it seems reasonable to require developers to offset this risk. Cities can amend their zoning codes to require solar power in the parking lots of new buildings. Requiring a specific electric generating capacity, such as 1 kilowatt per parking space, will give developers the freedom to meet the requirement in the most cost-effective way. (Covering one parking space with solar panels will produce about 2 kilowatts of generating capacity, so covering half the spaces in a parking lot will produce about 1 kilowatt per space.) Because the solar potential of a parking lot depends on many factors, such as climate and topography, solar power requirements would differ among locations and land uses, just as off-street parking requirements do. Cities should not adopt solar requirements in all locations and for all land uses, but sunny areas with large parking lots are a good place to start. Cities can also offer developers who prefer not to install solar panels on their parking lots the option to pay for equivalent renewable energy or conservation measures elsewhere, perhaps at a school or other public building.
