Default Ridiculous, UGLY solar panelling from District 5

Check out the entranceways to Hialeah Villas and Cherry Hill Villas on Belvedere. This is how The Villages is spending your money...even with a "green" grant, which they may claim, it is UGLY and ridiculous...at the well lit entranceways to these villa streets, they have a solar company come out, and put up a 4-5 foot metal pole and on that pole, put a 5-6 foot long by 2 foot solar panel, sticking out like a sore thumb. When asked why they hoisted it up, the workmen said there was a large battery box to be installed beneath it. Let me tell you folks, this has to be expensive as well as UGLY, and I urge you to come and check it out and call your representative. It is stuff like this that is ridiculous. I am all for green too, but all this to illuminate an already plainly lit visible Cherry Hill Villas entranceway. A bad way to "UGLY it up" and it is not needed.
