Mostly because it gets it installed. I’m vaguely attached to a utility scale deal trying to happen. The land owners are interested, the utility is interested,

  Maybe you can help steer the project toward a dual use of a reservoir or pasture. When you don't have to pay rent on land, you don't need to pack the panels cheek by jowl. Pasture doesn't normally generate much revenue, per acre, and it tends to be all at once, so something producing year-round is a welcome buffer. The livestock keep down weeds and benefit from shelter, so are healthier. On water, the panels are kept cool and therefore both notably more efficient, but also last much longer. Nobody knows yet how much longer. They cut evaporation and biofouling.
