They don't build parking shade roofs to support the weight of being covered in panels, though. That has to be planned for. A typical panel that's around five and a half foot by a bit less than 3 and a half foot weighs around forty pounds. Having like two of those on your covered spot at your house would probably hold fine. But to a large parking area will add a huge amount of weight.
