The only reason is cheap electric prices for big corps. If they wouldn't get subsidiaries, i bet you there is solar everywhere. Also a lot of them started doing this in the eu but there are not enough installation professionals to keep up.
A LIDL opened about 6 months ago near my place... zero panels over the car park... and 1 (one) EV charger... like... you'd think they'd had it pegged by now.
@0x0 @Mangoholic Nah, cheapest possible infrastructure is all.
But the investors want to hear you're making investments that pay out within a year. A decade to see a return means they've got no interest.
