They Paved Paradise... and Put Up a PV Lot

Dr. Richard Perez, who does excellent work at the University of Albany demonsrating the viability of solar electricity, just issued this report showing how effective it can be to place solar photovoltaics on parking lots.

The bottom line: there is enough space on parking lots in the Hudson Valley, New York City and Long Island to displace about 15-20% of the region's peak electrical demand with PVs.
