Depends. Are there lots of tall buildings around the parking lot? Solar panels are made of a lot of rare metals and so we have to be very selective about where we install them to maximize energy output. For this region large open spaces near the equator work well. Not that they can't work elsewhere, or couldn't work over a parking lot, but there's a lot of variables that have to be considered on each individual level.

Nah, just give like Walmart and Target and other stores that have large parking lots a tax break or something.

FUCK THAT. Levvy additional taxes on any Corp that doesn't utilize their solar potential while subsidizing the cost of the panels.
