The latest update: looks like about half the solar panels are installed! The northern most array is the smallest and is fully covered. The middle bay is mostly covered, but none added on the southern bay.

Lots of progress here. See photos.

36 more stations with solar canopy.

My question is: what’s this smaller building in the back? Bathrooms? Something else??

I know they have used this style canopy in the past and are familiar with it, but I wonder with a lot this size why they didn't just solar canopy the entire thing.
They built the first half because of the massive need for charging in the area,
now they're building the 2nd half, they'll finish the solar on 2nd half,
then once that is open they'll go back to 1st half and complete the solar on 1st half

I get this, but they are just using those big metal things that only cover the parking spots. What I meant was literally canopy the entire lot.
