To … keep cars dry? Seems a bit like a waste. If you are going to be building something it would be far more beneficial to build a roof for a homeless shelter than a car park.
the part of the homeless shelter that costs money isn’t the roof, so that’s a false dichotomy… not to mention loads of those kind of buildings already have PVs on the roof
and being from australia, i definitely more thought heat than wet… but either way, id probably say not for the cars… its probably for the people going to and from the cars
That would mean A) buildings having a lot more weight on the walls then designed for, which could cause problems, B) Maintenance would be an absolute nightmare. ‘Just put them in a field’ is the correct take. I know we all want the solarpunk yogurt commercial world, but mundane things like ease of construction & maintenance win 9 times out of 10.

better to build apartment blocks and then put panels on the roof of the apartment block and people have shops right there.
industrial buildings however should be covered in panels ffs.

again, that’s already all happening though…
this is a “yes and” situation; there’s no or about it
