To be honest, i dont think we have large enough parking lots where i live. Only at the airport have i seen pretty large ones and we have 3 of those in my country
Parking lots, warehouses, malls, walmarts (and similar superstores), even stretches of in-city highways. There's millions of acres of viable space for solar panels, just no financial incentive to install and maintain it.
Why is the incentive to install them higher, in rural land and areas that could have been fields or forrest?
Cause it's cheaper I guess?
If it is, it can't be with much. Maybe regulations and issues with reflections. I can't see it being much cheaper
USA has vast, seas of parking lots. makes 1000% sense to have them here.
I would imagine a nice bonus of having solar panels on top of parking lots is cars staying cooler in the shade
I agree! The post doesn't mention USA anywhere though so i assume that this is a general question
Makes more sense to remove the parking lots and replace them with mixed use housing or green areas
I've thought about this. but then people would bitch during the holidays when parking lots are full.
here is an explanation
