#France:
Car parks with space for 80 cars or more are now required by law to be covered with solar panels.
- Parks between 80-400 spaces have 5 years to comply
- Parks with spaces of 400+ have 3 years to comply
This should be required everywhere!

Potential for rainwater harvesting too - and combatting flood spikes.
But isn’t the dark solar panels contributing to increasing global warming, like paving roads with black asphalt, and ash fallout on glaciers and polar icecaps?
Doesn’t white panels work?
Solar panels do not produce energy but convert part of it into electricity. Yes they become hot, but the uncovered floor becomes hot also, inside of cars even more.
I don't know how those panels are made but I remember to read somewhere that it gets hot under them and there're some trouble in my country to the top apartments in the buildings that get them because they get hotter.
Capitalism always finds its way to avoid costs
It's an excellent idea especially down south with the constant blistering sun. Force this scalding asshole to be useful, at last.
kein baum, kein strauch...hauptsache autos, energie.

Complete no brainer!!

If you're going to occupy that much public space for storing stuff (cars) you might as well generate electricity from it.

Chances are: increased insurance payouts due to luxury suvs at about seven Toyota corollas worth per door leads to rising premiums divided equally on all vehicles regardless of dimensions and costs of spare parts and repairs🤬
☝️🧮
Despite all the early EVs were particularly tiny, today’s EVs average width cosmically outwide the rest of the carpool by flight decks
Subtracting “their fuel-guzzling tanks” from “available parking space”, you have equated cars of such sizes (SUV) with vehicles with internal combustion engines.
Thereby you have ruled out EVs from SUV size cars, which is irrefutably mathematically diametrically errant

Solar is also a good earner for farmers which helps offset the poor rates they can get for crops and livestock (and you can still have livestock under panels as well).
Surely the build time is longer?
Én de auto’s staan in de schaduw én veel stroom opbrengst.
Laadpalen erbij, perfect!!!
Solar panels were installed over a small part of the parking lot in late 2008 and have been in operation since then.
They talked about expanding it but so far haven't.
Why not mandate both? There's no reason for it to be either or.
And I'd wager retrofitting solar panels on a car park is waaaay more expensive than installing ground anchors and steel frames on green/brownfield sites.
And degrading the cost-effectiveness of solar energy impacts every person on the planet.
Essentially we don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater as we say in blighty!
…the same shld be true for residential builds‼️
Over on the other place is a UK guy living in Bavaria? where it’s mandatory for all new builds to have solar.
As a result, his annual energy costs have become negligible!
