##  [What are the ROI factors for a solar parking canopy?](/faq/what-are-roi-factors-solar-parking-canopy) 

 Solar parking canopies provide three benefits to those parking their cars: cooling shade from the sun, shelter from the elements, and solar electric power for the canopy owner. The ROI calculation is different from a rooftop installation. We must take into account the value of improved parking conditions, and what the solar-generated electricity will be used for: electric vehicle charging, night-time parking area lighting, selling back for credits, or some other on-site storage & usage.
