"The transition to clean power will require massive solar expansion—not just
home rooftop arrays but photovoltaic installations near population centers.
Where to mount all the panels? One answer seems obvious: over parking lots,
which also bake during the summer, contributing to dangerous “heat island”
effects. Shading Walmart Supercenter lots with PV canopies, for instance, would
generate loads of power and allow stores to entice shoppers with free EV
charging and cooler lots. And a cool customer is a happy customer."
