Solar canopy

A French law passed in 2023 will require parking lots larger than 50,000 square feet (4,600 m2) to build solar canopies covering half their area.

[2] In 2022, the world's largest solar car park canopy opened in the Netherlands with 35 MW capacity.

[7] This is due to the fact that solar canopies are constructed over preexisting parking lots and other open areas within the community rather than within one's own property.

[7] Rotating gazebos can potential be implemented in a similar fashion to provide higher energy resources to community solar programs.

[7][9]Some Tesla Supercharger stations have solar canopies installed to protect drivers and vehicles from the elements while recharging.
