Near Hosbach, Germany on the E41 Autobahn is a solar panel farm that is very interesting. The panels are installed over the Autobahn. As you approach it looks like you're entering a tunnel except then you see skylights. Total length is about 4,000 feet. Seems like a great way to use existing space that is already being used. Expensive I'm sure, but as Germany often does, investments are made with long term payoffs in mind.
