Small but nice cheery news: in France, the government has published a new decree making it mandatory to put solar panels on parking space roofs.
According to PV magazine:
The French government has published Decree No. 2024-1023, mandating solar installations on parking lots larger than 1,500 sqm …
Car parks exceeding 10,000 sqm must install solar carports by July 1, 2026, while those between 1,500 sqm and 10,000 sqm have until July 1, 2028.
At least 50% of parking areas, including traffic lanes, must be covered with solar shelters or green canopies. Non-compliance can incur annual fines of up to €40,000 ($42,160) until resolved.
