Owen's Corning world headquarters in Toledo Ohio does this too. No gaps in the panels. It's wonderful to walk out of the building through the tunnel and into an entirely covered parking lot. Cars stay cool in the summer, dry in the rain, and snow free in the winter. Plus it powers the office building.

France recently passed a law where it's mandatory for 80+ parking places to have solar panel roof. Prior that it was already getting quite common in South of France, where summers are really hot.
