Parking lots sound like an excellent place for solar panels to me, because they suddenly serve a second function: keeping the cars cool. On a hot day, people prefer to park in the shade for good reason, and this way, there's plenty of share on the parking lot.
Furthermore, parking lots are easily accessible for construction and maintenance, and it doesn't hurt any other use of the land. It's pretty much perfect. I'd say this is second only to rooftop solar as easy win for solar. And in some cases better than rooftop solar.
