FLYING into Melbourne recently I was struck by the number of warehouse buildings with possibly thousands of hectares of north-facing roofs. Today I read that New York City is preparing a hyper accurate map to assess the building-by-building potential for solar panel installation.
So here's an idea: Could an entrepreneur, a solar power company and an electricity generator or retailer join forces to install large-scale solar power systems on warehouse roofs? Rental in the form of free or reduced-cost electricity could be paid to the warehouse owner, with excess energy being sold back into the grid. Has anyone done the numbers?
