Concrete has a lot of thermal mass. I could believe that it stays warm enough that ice can't stay on the surface, especially with a reservoir of non-frozen water behind it.

The steel brackets and aluminum panel frames will get a lot colder, especially with wind blowing around them. Basically the same principle as a bridge forming ice before the road on either side of it. An exposed metal frame with a wind chill can develop ice even if the average temperature around it is above freezing.

Hmm... and that makes me wonder if the solar array bolted to the concrete surface acts like a heatsink? That would be an interesting unintended consequence.

Maintenance access looks like a pain in the ass, and I would wonder about possible issues with snow/ice buildup and load limits, but otherw8se this is a nice use of the space.

No one at Microsoft gives a shit about what you are doing

Maybe, but 834 of their business partners are very interested in what I'm doing, and how much they should bid for Copilot ad slots on my computer.
