Solar panels on new building instead of acres of land

We all see hundred and thousands of acres of solar panels around our states. Farmers are selling off farm land or they are tearing down trees to build them.

Why aren’t we just installing them on new housing developments and or retro fitting them onto existing farmers sheds? Why isn’t there a program to install them on new farm buildings? Can we not be smart about this?

Maybe it can’t be done?

I would also add using parking lots in malls, shopping centers, etc as there is a lot of wasted space there that could be utilized. Same thing goes for solar film windows on buildings.
