Yep, a lot of places they are putting solar panels up all over the parking lots.  This has the advantage of shading your car too.

We can place solar collectors above already built land. A mall or Wal Mart or the rest has photosynthetic dead area anyway.

    This quote is from today's issue of the New York Times, it's about
    a company called BlueWave that has found a way to use the same
    land for both farming and solar cell electrical production, and
    environmentalists oppose the idea of course:

    "/chapters of the Audubon nonprofit environmental organization
    have been vocal about the technology’s potential effect on
    wildlife. Michelle Manion, the vice president of policy and
    advocacy for Mass Audubon (which is not affiliated with the
    National Audubon Society), said that while her organization
    supported renewable energy, including solar within farming
    operations, “we want to maximize the placement of ground-mounted
    solar on some of our lands that are the least ecologically
    sensitive first.”And there are general concerns that even with
    dual-use solar panels, arable land may be lost, though BlueWave
    says that the land can be reverted to pure agriculture uses once
    the solar leases — typically 20 to 30 years — expire/."
