Expert Trade Answers
"It will completely depend on the required output and the intended set up weather you wanted to accompany the solar with battery storage or grid tied.
I'm not sure this is the arena for helpful responses as you'd need to see the site, and assess it. But it's unlikely that you can cover a number of bays and them all be purley powered by solar panels above the bay. The total output of a canopy would power a given number of bays and in a lot of cases it's supplemental to the grid rather than wholly off grid. Your best enquiring directly and getting bespoke information."
