Jim Greene, Belmont alumnus and president of Richland, LLC manufacturing company, recently unveiled a new green parking structure, the first of its kind in the Southeast. The structure, which is basically a carport with a roof made of solar panels, serves as a charging station for electric vehicles and will generate electricity for the area.
The carport, located in the parking lot of Richland LLC in Pulaski, has enough space for 12 cars and the 20 KW solar cell system will produce more than $500 worth of electricity per month— enough to power up to four homes.
