Just wondering what other experiences are with these. I used to visit (for business) a company with a large worksite that was building a solar setup. Initially it was just using a spare space aways from the buildings. I've visited more recently and they have solar panel canopies across much of their parking lot.
I've also been dealing with solar panel installation at my local Six Flags park. It's been kind of a pain because much of the parking lot is now fenced off, but gradually we've seen them installed. In the off season it might be open 2-3 days out of the week, but my understanding is that they'll be operating all the time and then adding power to the grid for credit.
I remember asking someone working on a particular solar product how his company accounted for night time - whether or not they had a system that worked with a battery system. He said no - that the product wasn't really meant for that (or being off the grid), and the customer should be getting credit to offset the cost of grid power.
