Solar energy cemetery power a Spanish town
A great way to transform a place. The town of “Santa Coloma de Gramenet”, in Spain have transform the resting place of a town outside of Barcelona. They have converted the roof of mausoleums to a renewable energy producing power plant that can produce enough electricity equivalent to the yearly consumption of 60 homes. 
The necessity to find flat and open spaces that are viable for solar photovoltaic systems, gave birth to this concept. They installed 462 panels on top of the mausoleums of the cemetery giving the town people desire to generate clean energy but not having the enough open spaces to deployed it.
Many people believe this town people are crazy, but on my sincere opinion what they have build up on tops of these mausoleums is very good example to the global community that there should be no excuses for deployment of clean sustainable energy systems. The town hall and cemetery officials waged a public-awareness campaign to explain the worthiness of the project and eventually it worked.
The cemetery holds the remains of about 57,00 people and the solar panels cover less than 5 percent of the total surface area available. With an initial cost of $900,00 US dollars, each year the small power facility will keep about 62 tons of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
They are already planning to erect more panels and triple the electricity capacity output.
