You're going about this the wrong way. While in many ways it's more efficient to build out large scale solar farms in the way you describe there are alternatives. What if we covered the roofs and parkings lots of every big box store with solar panels? And residential roofs? There are projects in California to cover canals with panels. The panels also double as cover to minimize water evaporation from the canal. What if we cover above ground LRT tracks with solar panels? There's so much space in our urban environments that we can put panels on, and by putting the panels closer to where the energy that they generate is used there are massive savings in distribution infrastructure costs as well as wasted electricity.
