France passed a law that requires new parking lots to install solar panels:

California proposes a law that gives money to companies if they install solar panels on parking lots.
Here in America, we just love giving our tax money directly to companies, don't we? :)

"the installations would obviate the need to construct."

What is the tax incentive? Also, agree with first commenter, why isn't it just a construction requirement vs. a tax break.

Agree with others, make it a building requirement. Also please fix the roads before embarking on this!

These solar arrays were installed where I used to work. First they removed all the tree - lots of them. I think it is a lousy idea unless there is a way that solar panels can work with partial shade some of the day and we can retain our beautiful and important, carbon-absorbing trees.
