Are we seeing the end for building non-Urban superchargers in So Cal?

Solar canopies are a nice idea on paper, but one of the problems is the required surface area. A car like the Model 3 occupies a parking space of around 10sqm. Solar panels can produce around 200W/sqm under ideal conditions, so even covering an entire parking lot at best provides enough energy for L1 trickle charging if the lot is fully occupied. And it's even worse when you look at multi-story parking structures and areas that don't get a lot of sun ...

While I agree that a multi-story parking structure with solar is not going to support a meaningful percentage of EV charging, the Baker Supercharger site is relatively lightly used relative to the size of the array. That would make the solar offset significant.
