People seem to underestimate the scale of utility level solar installations and the space they need, and the economies of scale you get with it.

Like absolutely when it makes sense cover a parking lot, put it on roofs etc, but if you can access a field with the right conditions it'll be more cost effective.

You also left off things like permitting. You can permit 1 big field, or dozens / hundreds of parking lots. One field will be easier.

Also, that field can benefit from the shade if the solar is built right
