> the main one is that having giant above ground parking lots is awful in the first place Sorry, I should have specified: I’m looking for reasons the property owner wouldn’t want to install solar canopied parking lots besides just cost. E.g. Walmart is famous for their enormous parking lots and large corporate campuses in the suburbs often have large parking lots too, as do outdoor malls. It seems to me they would stand to benefit from installing canopies with solar panels seeing as how they’ve already dedicated vast swaths of their property to parking.
