Solar-Powered Parking Meters

San Diego is testing out solar-powered parking meters that “are more environmentally friendly, and allow for better parking management statistics, ease of control over parking meter rates, and better displays.”

The city is also testing new parking sensors that work with the solar-powered meters to track parking activity at individual spaces.

This sounds good to me – I’m all for more environmentally friendly solutions.

I wonder what the costs are, though. Installation costs? Maintenance costs? Savings over time?
