In 2011, a secured parking for trucks built a large roof of solar panels that use the energy directly into the facility. The excess of energy flows to the grid, so consumers in the street can use it. In 2018, Tesla approached them to install twelve super chargers. This requires the use of batteries, in order to store the energy and have it available during darker hours.
