The challenge is finding land with owners rich enough to fund putting solar there. A lot of big parking lots are on land controlled by big supermarkets or other retail outlets. So, stimulating those to invest in some solar is not the worst idea. As opposed to some land in the middle of nowhere with no-one with enough of a vested interest to make the necessary investments.
Making it mandatory simply causes these companies to start finding cheaper ways to get it done. And of course they lower their energy cost so it's not a complete write off for them. And parking lots are of course where people charge their EVs. So there's that.
- ars 4y ago> with owners rich enough to fund putting solar there If you need to be rich to fund solar you are doing it wrong. Solar is meant to actually pay back money, not cost extra.

- ars 4y agoIt's not infinite (what a low effort reply that was), there's a rate of return. You don't need to be rich - you borrow money to fund your project, and pay it back out of the returns.
