    The benefit of pavement being cheap is it’s not terribly expensive to remove or repair bits of it. Cut a square out, drill down with an auger, chuck a sonotube in and pour a footing. Trenching in conduit for power lines doesn’t seem like much of a deal breaker either.

    I’d also image a parking lot is closer to an electrical connection than a farm field out in the country.

      Okay, I give on the first part, but not on the second.

      Farms consume quite a lot of electricity actually, and often electrical grid must be enforced more for a farm than for a suburbs.
