Every installation has benefits and drawbacks:

  • If you have humans walking below PV, you must prevent parts falling down
  • The support must be quite wide, requiring more expensive carrying members
  • Constrains traffic
  • Cars are protected from hail and heat (good for car factories!)
  • Makes electricity where it's needed
  • Very visible progress toward renewables

France made it mandatory for large malls to install these btw.

The first two "cons" seem like non issues, and could be used for any structure ever.

Sounds like a bare minimum for an installation. Sure, it costs. And that is why it should be mandated.
