  I’ve been saying this since the whole solar road bullshit started.

  Stupid cities required parking be built at each building, there should require solar over that parking next.

    Absolutely. The solar road and rail things are just startups trying to make some quick cash. The real solution is to add shade with solar and put it on top of buildings. Even fields of solar is good, you can use a small amount of space for massive gains. It's all push back from the right, who are in the pockets of billionaires, otherwise it's a simple problem to solve.

  Or you could just build a multi level parking space.
  Why waste so much space for only ground level?

  They could rent and so much land for developers to use instead of just one. Weird things the US does…

    The US is indeed backwards.
