My local Walmart has solar over much of its parking lot. All the cars huddle under it.
Meanwhile, the store roof entirely lacks solar.
Nearby Safeway is opposite.
- galaxyLogic 4y agoGood starts. Must start somewhere. We all want an electric car and a lack of charging stations is a problem. Therefore I would vote for starting with parking lots, they are closer to cars.
- ncmncm 4y agoBig-box store roofs are much cheaper to install on than building elevated racks in parking lots. Electric power is easily delivered where it is most useful via wires. So, for cost-effectiveness, the first place to put solar is on those big flat roofs. But customers do like covered parking lots.
