you must prevent parts falling down

So like any ceiling with HVAC, etc? I was thinking that the coverings were a boon to pedestrians due to the shade they provide on hot days (depends on location, of course)

Yes, but HVAC systems rarely have to cover an entire parking lot. There's a lot of attendant infrastructure that comes with it. Compare that to dedicated rural solar fields, where you don't have to worry about people wandering in and around the panels. Its not a deal-breaker, but it does raise the unit price.
