I wonder why not every single new warehouse, corporate HQ, supermarket, strip mall, shopping mall and commercial building do not have solar panels on their roofs?

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.
