That's already a thing. They're called solar canopies, and they're covering school parking lots in CA.
It also has to be protected from vandals and morons protesting it.
Also, just for laughs, make the support bars too low for modern pickup trucks haha!
Keeps cars cool, can be used to charge EVs. Yeah, sounds good. Make the parking lot only partly covered and those spaces EV only to encourage the transition.
You could do it over big roads too.
I'd love a covered highway. Protect against rain, snow, dawn/dusk sunlight blinding the driver. Focus on the East to West highways first.
A few parking lots near us have that and parking there is a treat on hot summer days!
Could also cover freeways (also reduce glare during your commute)
But parking lots are a good idea too
But only in one case sure the farmer get money without doing anything with his field.
Oddly Costco does this.
