Solar panels must also be maintained. Even a canopy without electronics on it, or a lot without a canopy on it, must be maintained to some degree. And parking lots are often mandated, with a specified capacity, for every use. Now that we're in an era where cities are moving toward eliminating cars from the road, reducing parking lot acreage, and easing those aforementioned mandates. So, as a business, we'll want to calculate the tradeoffs of installation and maintenance, as well as the understanding that we're less able or willing to demolish a productive solar array when I need to build something else in its stead. Installing solar arrays over a parking lot may essentially lock-in that desolate acreage while the value of the land underneath them begins to ramp up.
