'Industrial scale' projects are also happening and they are quite easy to find on Google Maps, for instance around Berlin there are some pretty big areas covered in solar panels: https://www.google.com/maps/@52.6242449,14.2273341,7219m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTAwMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D https://www.google.com/maps/@52.6242449,14.2273341,7219m/dat... https://www.google.com/maps/@52.6993717,14.2185555,3756m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTAwMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D https://www.google.com/maps/@52.6993717,14.2185555,3756m/dat... https://www.google.com/maps/@52.6476471,13.6945097,2856m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTAwMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D https://www.google.com/maps/@52.6476471,13.6945097,2856m/dat... https://www.google.com/maps/@53.0173558,13.5345601,4387m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTAwMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D https://www.google.com/maps/@53.0173558,13.5345601,4387m/dat... Or this one near Leipzig in a former lignite mining area: https://www.google.com/maps/@51.1680221,12.4092084,4502m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTAwMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D https://www.google.com/maps/@51.1680221,12.4092084,4502m/dat... (interestingly most of those seem to be located in former East Germany - probably because land ownership isn't fragmented as much as in former West Germany due to the forced farmland sequestration after WW2). ...and smaller solar fields exist nearly everywhere (even in the back of the woods where I was born: https://www.google.com/maps/@50.5463975,12.9038206,658m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTAwMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D https://www.google.com/maps/@50.5463975,12.9038206,658m/data...) E.g. why not build renewables at all possible scales?
