> The most valuable part is not the land itself ...What? > Here in Brazil Ah. When your country is destroying 8,000 square km/year in Amazon rain forest (and disappearing the indigenous people who live on it), yeah, I guess you would think land is 'cheap.' Anyway - you're missing the point. The "cost" is lost opportunity. At a certain point, between increased new panel efficiencies and the currently installed panels losing efficiency, the operator is missing out on enough power generation that they can upgrade and make more money in the long run.
