Large car parks at supermarkets and railway stations could be roofed with solar panels instead of wasting valuable food-productive areas of land for ‘solar farms’. The areas for car parks have already been concreted over so there would be no loss of land. It would also greatly benefit shoppers and commuters by keeping them dry whilst loading their shopping and walking to and from their vehicles. Some of the resultant profits could be shared between the supermarkets or railway companies as an incentive and the electricity produced could be used to power houses in towns within the immediate vicinity.
