Oh yeah buddy what temp is it outside rn?
Asphalt loves heating cities up
This article is literally about shading the asphalt
Yeah but asphalt is usually chosen due to it being the cheap and easy option, I can't imagine anywhere that hasn't already used concrete is happy to spend more on their parking lot unless forced, and tbh if of there's enough solar panels in the world to match US's parking lot surface area
The energy generated by commercial solar installations is then sold, generating income. No one's expecting parking lot owners to do this out of the goodness of their heart
