There is a significant amount of parking lot space in Maryland, in urban lots and garages, as well as in the large parking areas associated with shopping centers and businesses of less densely populated suburban areas. The Program\u00a0 captures some of the unrealized potential of these facilities by installing solar photovoltaics while still allowing parking services to be offered.<\/p>\n
