Every installation has benefits and drawbacks:

  • If you have humans walking below PV, you must prevent parts falling down
  • The support must be quite wide, requiring more expensive carrying members
  • Constrains traffic
  • Cars are protected from hail and heat (good for car factories!)
  • Makes electricity where it's needed
  • Very visible progress toward renewables

France made it mandatory for large malls to install these btw.

You have to engineer the supports to prevent collapse even if a car drives into them
