The VA in Tucson has a vast solar field that forms carports for their parking lot.
Not only did they put in solar panes, but the carport structures to hold them.
It is nice to have your car in the shade while you visit, but it must lengthen the pay back to build all those structures to hold the panels.
Save the planet f… the Vets.

Most of the area covered by that solar/parking facility used to be actual natural Sonoran desert vegetation. They had plenty of parking already, so going solar was the only reason for this. Too bad.
