There's also the problem of rural opposition to solar farms. Not unusual to see a "no solar farms" sign every few hundred feet in some parts of Indiana where I wander (often in the same areas where the cars have bumper stickers celebrating coal).

Larger growers hate that they no longer get to gobble up the land of the smaller growers, so there's a strong political incentive to block solar from their side.
