"Its too hard to maintain."
"What if someone hits the pole holding up the panels?"
"It costs more than clear cutting a forest to put the panels in." (True story)
Lots of bullshit reason.
That’s where a properly functioning government would be able to step in. Parking lot taxes are going up x%, but if you install solar panels, you get an x% tax break.
That and add a steep tax for single purpose solar fields.
It’s not that it’s too hard to maintain, but that in order to make sense it would have to be cheaper than building and maintaining the solar panels on some larger and less valuable patch of land 30 minutes out of town.
There are very few land uses more worthless than a surface parking lot.
