Car parks and of course mandating their use on new builds unless demonstrably not worthwhile would be good for sure.
Where they're in fields it would be interesting to know what they've displaced. Locally they're on places that haven't grown a crop for years. Whether that's down to the economics of beans, grains or oilseed I could not say.
To what extent are they permanent. If we were on a wartime footing how does food security count on the matrix compared with imported gas being displaced from the power supply.
Is it possible to have rough grazing animals like sheep around the array?
Not saying you're wrong Sooty, just thinking aloud.
