I feel like that’s too many in one area? Don’t you have to be worried about the refraction from these? I remember a story of birds getting fried flying over a solar field in the desert, not sure if that would be the same case
Downvoted for wanting to learn, what a day! Thanks to those who commented ^^
Maybe with a solar concentrating array, but these are photovoltaics are they not? So shouldn’t be a problem. I suspect this is just your typical nimby backlash to any large project. There’s plenty of that where I live too, alas.
A solar farm has got to be the least disruptive power generation method (especially if combined with agrovoltaics). I really don’t see how you could be against it.
They aren’t in one area. Midway through the article, there’s a diagram showing the actual areas, many of them are non-contiguous. It isn’t a monolithic block.
