The transition

In fact, if you do that everywhere you can generate between 20 and 25 percent of the Untied States electricity needs.

That is never going to happen. I am not saying that parking lot solar doesn't exist, but they won't be as pervasive as you envision.

Oh, and I live in a snowy environment and snow falls off of a properly angled solar panel just peachy. It works even better if you angle it steeper for the winter months (as you should because the sun is lower in the sky in the winter).

Perhaps you get snow, but you don't live in the mountains with tall old growth pine trees and mountain ridges. Literally no one in my community has solar panels on their roof.

An 800mw solar farm is being built in the UK, the website announces 120 thousand homes.
Its nonsense.
Its the plate rating, the actual dreadful reality is 15% generation factor further complicated by grid realities.

Those 'homes' are modelling ideals with impracticale heat management.

800mx is actually a 100 mw, which is about a 120 trucks worth of power over the year.
What am I supossed to do with reality

Those canopies would collapse under the snow load in a bad year where I live. Not that you could get a building permit to put it up in the first place. "structures must be engineered for snow loads that can exceed 150 pounds per square foot"
