They've already got the dish. They can use it for solar panels for now and if business comes back they could take them off and use again for its intended purposes.
It's a little wacky, but at RF the dish performance isn't actually degraded as much as you might think by the panels. It's possible that at night the system could be used for its original purpose and then in the daytime generate solar.
