A covered parking structure has a frame with first and second opposing surfaces. The surface has at least one solar energy collection panel therein. A device, removably connectable to the second opposing surface of the frame allows the frame to be adjusted in two or more axes relative to the vehicle parking lot. The structure also has a pedestal with first and second opposing ends. The first end of the pedestal is mountable in a surface of the vehicle parking lot at one end thereof, and in between, two adjacent vehicle spaces. The second end of the pedestal is mountable to the planar frame by the device for adjusting. The length of the pedestal makes an acute angle with the surface of the vehicle parking lot such that the pedestal does not interfere with the opening of doors of automobiles parked in the two adjacent vehicle spaces.
