The city of Valencia has ambitious plans of developing the largest urban solar farm by using solar panels in its cemeteries.
The Spanish city of Valencia has an innovative plan to generate clean energy—turning cemeteries into hubs of green energy by installing solar panels on top. The project has been dubbed Requiem in Power, or RIP.
The Requiem in Power project was launched in May and aims to become the largest urban solar farm in Spain. solar panelsWhen complete, the project will generate over 440,000 kilowatts of energy and save 140 tons of carbon emissions every year. Most of the energy from these facilities will be used to power up municipal buildings, but 25 percent of the output is also reserved for vulnerable households.
Unlike large-scale solar farms, where agricultural land may also be converted into an electricity generation center, the cemetery space continues to be available to the public as before, except that it is also producing energy now.
