Solar trees popping up everwhere

Wired details Google's new parking lot with solar trees. This is a growing trend. I think that J&J in New Brunswick even has something like this on top of one of their parking structures. But this article includes an aerial photo of the property. What you can see is that virtually every inch of the property that is impervious is also covered with solar cells.

Is this really a trend of the future? It could be really interesting if we saw more direct linkages between I.S. and Solar? Would it limit the pressure on a developer to reduce I.S. if it meant losing solar potential too?
