construct panels on their own property. The use of solar canopies in community solar allows more people to have easy and reliable access to renewable resources without as many limitations, such as funds or space, as personal solar panels. This is due to the fact that solar canopies are constructed over preexisting parking lots and other open areas within the community rather than within one's own property. Additionally, the construction of solar canopies within communities helps to provide covered parking areas for residents and can be used for shade in parks and other open spaces that house solar structures.

These rotating gazebos can be beneficial to community solar as well. As stated in the
Community Solar section, community solar provides renewable energy to many residents through solar structures built over parking lots and other open spaces. Rotating gazebos can potential be implemented in a similar

Rotating Roof Gazebo System which allows the solar panels to turn towards the sun as it moves

Solar canopies have a lot of potential when developing community solar. Community solar can easily implement solar canopy development to provide nearby residents with a reliable source of renewable energy. This is beneficial for residents wanting to invest in solar that do not have the means to

throughout the day. This allows for the solar panels to have direct sunlight throughout most of the day unlike stationary solar panels that will only receive full sunlight for a limited period of time. Due to this, rotating solar gazebos can produce a higher percent of solar energy.

A French law passed in 2023 will require parking lots larger than 50,000 square feet (4,600 m) to build solar canopies covering half their area. This could result in installed capacity of 6.75–11.25 gigawatts, at a cost of $ 8.7–14.6 billion.
