Mostly just the difficult to reach thing. “Near population centers” is still routing through awkward areas. It’s not parallel to roads like distribution systems. Hence the use of helicopter chainsaws to trim them. Utility PV is nice single areas filled with panels.
Maybe it could make sense. But with solar development being as aggressive as it is right now it seems unlikely that folks are just missing this idea.

- jncfhnb 3y agoI respectfully disagree. Those are a pain in the ass to get to. These things tend to get aerially inspected for a reason. I would definitely not want to be sending out contractor crews to off-road locations for something as low value as a short stretch of solar panels.
