Nope. Zoning issues, permits, construction work, cluttering the space, etc, etc.

In front of a campus building in Spain, for four or five e-bike charging station? The size of a covered bus stop? I don't buy that.

There is too much parotting Dave going on in your brain. Just look at the setup: it is easy to install & remove without too much damage to the existing pavement. Cost wise this is a super efficient installation. You send out a two people in a van in the morning and the install is done before the day has passed. Try do that with some kind of bycicle shed which needs permits, a crane to install, a foundation, etc. If you do the math for real, you'll come to the same conclusion. There is a negative return on investment for adding a roof, it is simple as that. Especially since this installation is in Spain where it is -judging by the surrounding landscape- relatively dry and sunny.

None of what you wrote sounds believable to me, it's just parroting the advertisements and Green Transition crap the talking heads are pushing.
I am afraid there is just not enough processing going on in your brain.

I see no markings for things like parking spaces, so I assume this is just an open space with a bike rack in the middle. Take the only part of the plaza which people obstruct for hours, and cover that ground in solar panels. Brilliant.

Typically you come up with very elaborate mathematical proofs of your statements showing you put real thought in your claims. But for things outside your area of expertise, you seem to get caught up in conspiracy theories very easely.
If you look up prices for outdoor bicycle sheds with Google, you'll find out that these set you back around 5k euro without any installation costs. Say at 20ct per kWh, putting the solar panels on the roof needs to generate 25000kWh extra to make up for the costs of the bycicle shed alone. With 6 400Wp tilted panels generating around 1000kWh per year extra compared to flat panels, it would take 25 years to recover the costs of just the shed alone. As you can see, some very simple math shows putting up a shed just for the sake of getting the panels tilted towards the sun is not worth it!
