I don't know to what extent this is accurate, but the middle area of Georgia has become blanketed in solar panels. Apparently it's a very ideal area for production and mostly on former farm land, but huge swaths miles and miles have recently popped up thanks to incentives. That I know is accurate, what's below I've only seen from random sources and can't independently verify. All the solar farms were presented as having a functional life of 25-30 years. Instead it's turning into more like 4-8, because the area gets monster thunderstorms that produce hail which wrecks the solar panels. But that's not the full problem. The solar panels are then leaching a lot of heavy metals and chemicals. So much so that the recovered land from some of the destroyed solar panel farms is not currently suitable for farming and groundwater in the area is becoming contaminated. They are now however building some enclosed retractable roof type buildings to house panels but protect them from hail.
