I don't know about this case in particular, but solar farms can actually go hand in hand with agriculture!
Agivoltaics or solar grazing is the dual use of land where animals can live and graze under and around solar panel, unlocking a new revenue stream for farmers. It turns out sheep are great lawnmowers and also appreciate having a place to stay out of the sun on hot days.
I feel as though I've worded this like an ad, but I honestly was thrilled when I first read about it because the loss of agricultural land is a common argument against solar farms, but this seems good for everyone!
