Well also when they are they are small parking lots. This regulation specifically is for big public parking lots.

Also the "surrounded by high rises" locations are more likely to be built as parking garages in the first place.

Low rise or high rise, (near) ground level (sub)urban PVs are going to run hotter because of the heat island and disrupted breeze, so panel efficiency and lifespan will take a non-zero hit too
