Reply to comment by Pretend-Row4794 in In France all new large parking lots must now be covered in solar panels starting in july 2023. by BuildingBabel

Freaking heck, you're the second comment I've seen that thinks they mean that they will pave the ground with solar panels. They will COVER the lots. As in a canopy of solar panels. Is this a language thing or something?

Well I knew practically you wouldn’t pave them into the ground. And where I’m from we don’t have parking lots with dolor panels so I had no clue. Also most parking lots are just open space with no roof so if it’s like a parking garage that makes more sense. I was mostly joking though sorry to upset you

You would build a canopy over the parking lot. It wouldn't make sense for a parking garage because they take the surface area that a large lot would cover, and instead stack it up. Solar panels need surface area.
