The core obstacle is financing - solar traditionally takes a long time to pay back from energy savings, so the financials of solar on warehouses didn't work out. The IRA made it possible to sell the tax credits from solar deployment on warehouse roofs (e.g. https://www.reunioninfra.com/) so now solar on warehouse rooftops can make financial sense in many more instances.
