And don’t forget that it is not like we can not use this land for some other purpose at the same time. With summers getting hotter and hotter shade under solar panels is actually good thing for farming.

True but less feasible then it sounds. It’s easier to have them on dedicated land where maintenance would be easier, and also to not have to put them way up on stilts or make avenues under for tractors and risk damage or vandalism that comes with it being a public place. Unguarded panels off to the side of daily life can still get vandalized, but it would be an extra trip…
