You need some serious concrete and/or steel hardware to build a carpark roof that can hold the solar panels without easily being damaged by cars or broken by strong wind, so that massively inflates the costs. If you had a state owned company producing cheap solutions for this it could work though.

Yeah, a lot of the places around me are putting up these massive structures. I don't know why they don't just install open sided polebarns
