Would you have to shut down the whole parking lot for roof work?
It's anecdotal, but most parking lots I've seen around LA seemed to have an open top floor which was mostly empty since people presumably prefer their cars to be shaded. I know I specifically didn't want to leave my motorbike on the top floor for this specific reason.
So adding solar panels, which would add shape, would basically increase the parking lot floor.
- PopAlongKid 4y ago> parking lots I've seen around LA seemed to have an open top floor That would more commonly be called a parking garage or structure, a parking lot as referred to in the article is just an open, paved area of ground. I suspect the construction issues for the top floor of a parking structure are different from those of ground-level installation with no existing vertical structure. Also, by their very nature, parking garages most likely have significantly less square footage on the top floor than a parking lot for the same number of vehicles.
