    Thomas Jefferson Solar Canopy at Mount Rushmore - DLR Group
    The Thomas Jefferson Solar Canopy at Mount Rushmore is a 346 kW solar carport installed on the top level of the memorial's parking garage, dedicated in April 2019. It features 975 panels that generate nearly 500,000 kWh annually—powering over 50% of the concessions and visitor center’s energy needs while offering shaded parking. 
    Key Facts About the Project 
    • Location: Top level of the west side of the parking facility.
    • Capacity: 346 kW DC (356 kW in some reports).
    • Impact: Reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 15% and saves roughly $40,000 in annual energy costs.
    • Developer: Engineered by DLR Group and installed by Pivot Energy for Xanterra Travel Collection.
    • Awards: Named the "Coolest Carport" by Solar Builder Magazine in 2019.
    • Amenities: The project was part of a broader upgrade that added EV charging stations, improved LED lighting, and bike lockers. 
    This installation supports the National Park Service’s initiative to treat Mount Rushmore as a "climate-friendly park". 
    Would you like to know more about the specific awards it won, the details of the EV charging stations added, or perhaps explore other national parks with similar solar projects?

    Are solar canopies worth it?
    Solar canopies and carports are a great way to get shade and power from the sun! Solar canopies are a great way to take advantage of the benefits of solar and also provide shady coverings for backyards, parking lots, and more.

    What is the difference between a solar canopy and a solar carport?
    Often, solar carports are installed over parking spaces and are made up of a supporting structure with solar panels mounted on the roof. Solar canopies are also similar in that they provide shade, but they can also be installed over outdoor living spaces like a pergola.Sep 26, 2024
