In addition,
solar energy powers electric pumps that supply potable water
from a deep well, as well as power for the RV facilities.
The remote location of the campground makes it an excellent
site to put solar technology to use. This situation is common
in many park landscapes, making the public sector an area
where landscape architects can use their skills to take the
lead in solar landscape design. The initial savings at this
campground are estimated at $435,000 because of the costs
associated with connecting to the existing power grid six
miles away. |
