Every large parking lot should have a solar PV system canopy!

Here's the 210kW solar PV array on the REI parking lot in Framingham: Solar carport powers REI building in Framingham - Framingham, MA - The MetroWest Daily News

This array would be enough to provide electricity for about 42 homes. Every large parking lot should have a solar PV system canopy! They could directly power EV charging stations - and the highest demand is from A/C during the day, so we can offset that and have carbon free cooling...
