Reply to comment by Pyroguy096 in In France all new large parking lots must now be covered in solar panels starting in july 2023. by BuildingBabel

Well I knew practically you wouldn’t pave them into the ground. And where I’m from we don’t have parking lots with dolor panels so I had no clue. Also most parking lots are just open space with no roof so if it’s like a parking garage that makes more sense. I was mostly joking though sorry to upset you

You would build a canopy over the parking lot. It wouldn't make sense for a parking garage because they take the surface area that a large lot would cover, and instead stack it up. Solar panels need surface area.
