France mandates solar panels on car parking more than 80 spaces:

"France passed a single law and instantly unlocked 11 gigawatts of #solarenergy â€” without using new land. In 2023, France's government mandated solar canopies over all car parks larger than 80 spaces. The scale was enormous: There are 400,000 parking areas across France #ActOnClimate #Renewables
