This document proposes using parking lots to generate solar power through installing solar panels above parking spaces. Key points: - There are over 500 million empty parking spaces in the US daily that could be used for solar panels. - Covering just 50% of the estimated 1713 square miles of parking lots with solar panels could generate 2 billion kilowatt-hours annually while providing benefits like stormwater management and reducing carbon emissions. - Cities can require new buildings to include solar panels over a portion of parking spaces through zoning code amendments.
