Do you have any thoughts on covering parking lots with solar arrays, and using the panels to charge EVs underneath? I've heard people who are into ground-mount and utility-scale only say that parking lots aren't good. Hard to imagine anything more utility-scale or ground-mounted than a huge open expanse of asphalt. The other piece would be, what's the ratio of panels to parking spot that wouldn't require outside power? I guess at current rates of EV adoption, that it's not a problem, but maybe you couldn't power every car in the lot with the panels above. Not sure though.
