There may be other perks to adding solar panels over parking lots, too. Research shows that the benefits of solar canopies can be taken a step further if electric vehicles are able to charge right in the parking lot. People can tap into this potential by installing EV chargers in solar carports, which makes charging more accessible for owners and creates a small-scale local energy grid for the community. The expense of installation and other barriers, though, can make deployment challenging.
To maximize these benefits, smart technology that controls the timing and speed of charging is critical, says

I live in Phoenix. EVERY parking lot should have solar panels over it. Provide shade and generate power. It's like no one is thinking.
