It would keep cars a lot cooler and would enable very efficient charging stations to be located in the parking lot.

A good number of the roofs already are. While more expensive than working in a field, it's way cheaper/safer than working on a tiny residential roof.

Parking lots are tougher, but I saw the first one this year.
