Mausoleum solar panels

A small town in Spain had an idea for curbing some of their power demand.  They would put solar panels on mausoleums.  I mean, why not, right?  The space isn't being used for much else...

Understandably, I suppose, they were met with some opposition at the idea.  After a couple years of pushing through, it managed to become a reality.

462 panels on a quarter acre of mausoleums, 100 kilowatts produced.

Small when you think about it, but in theory, it has strong implications.  Space management, alternative power sources, etc.  It's an excellent example of taking the first step of transitioning to renewable power sources.  Kudos!
