Yes, in my back yard: people who live near large-scale solar projects are happy to have more built nearby (frontiersin.org)

what I don't understand is why they don't just cover all parking lots with solar. It keeps cars cooler in summer (shade), less snow to plow in winter, and it's space that isn't being used by plants anyway.

I've seen that a bit in southern France. Seemed to work great, the lot was nice and fresh even in the scorching heat.

Same here. The other thing that doesn't make sense is why all new homes aren't required to have solar on the roof.
