I like to look at parking solar more like balcony solar. It's free real estate. Throw a few solar panels up here and there. Put a few on the existing light poles on the parking lot and/or around the perimeter. It's more about integrating small additive power generation to existing infrastructure than trying to extract maximum Kwh per square foot like field solar.
it's free real estate and a nice way to remove some abject misery from our lives, because big unshaded parking lots are horrible to be near.
