Solar Power in California

 We expected to see fields of solar panels such as these at the Jacuzzi Winery in the Sonoma Valley when we visited California.
 We also expected to see single family dwellings with solar panels such as these.
 What was a surprise was to see parking meters powered by mini solar panels.
 And trash bins with solar panels were an even bigger surprise.
Such trash bins use solar power to compact the trash deposited within them. Fascinating.
