Reply to comment by Extremely-Bad-Idea in Solar Rollout Rouses Resistance in Europe’s Countryside: Regulations meant to protect green space block the installation of solar panels despite soaring energy prices by CannoliIntoPussy

Idk, seems like the most no-brainer would be to put them in parking lots. Lots of space with 0 green, it also protects cars from the sun

Not getting roasted by the sun while tossing my stuff into the car to wrap up a shopping trip sure is nice.

Also, the car isn't blistering hot when I get in it.

Win, Win, Win, Win, and I lost fucking count but sure here's another Win.

I'm seeing this all over in my state in the USA. Medical facilities were the first to install shades over the parking lots covered in solar panels. Now it's strip malls, even seeing them being installed currently in general mall parking lots.

Another bonus? Keeps the snow off your car in the winter!

Keep them coming, seems to be a win/win.
