I can't imagine that putting on solar in the parking lot/roof would matter for the amount of power they need.
From google ai:
"Modern hyperscale AI facilities typically demand 100 MW or more, with some planned campuses requiring a gigawatt (1,000 MW) of power."
It takes 5 acres (220,000 sq ft) for every megawatt. To power a 100 MW data center with solar panels it would require a 2.25 square miles (or 1.5 miles x 1.5 miles of panels).
