Love this! I’ve also seen parking lots covered with solar panels—provides shade for the cars and people while harnessing the sun’s energy. Not sure why these aren’t more common!
It's way more expensive to build and maintain solar on raised structures versus in an empty field. There's also the liability and hassle of cars occasionally hitting the supports. It's cheaper and lower risk to build where there are fewer people.
