This project, in its intervening into nomadic life, seeks to alleviate concerns of energy sources and shade in the harsh heat of California, while striving to not make too large an imposition on the lifestyle of these nomadic people. It is vitally important that infrastructure for this way of life, as it becomes more commonplace and even, in these recent times of quarantine and self-isolation, more desirable, exists. The linear interposing of solar panels on a much less organized and concise landscape is not limited to the Red Hill; instead, this model could be inserted in appropriate locations across America for the sake of improving the livelihoods of those who have found themselves living a nomadic lifestyle.
