"Over my dead body".. Rad Renewable or Repulsive?

The first solar powered cemetary is in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, Spain, a city just outside of Barcelona. The cemetary installed 462 solar panels in late 2008 and has a capacity of 100 kilowatts. The panels are located on top of the mausoleums. Prior to the commencement of the project, the cemetery received a lot of pushback from the families. One could assume the place of burial for their loved ones would be considered sacred. After long talks everyone agreed on the installation.
