Just thought I'd post some of the issues with Solar "farms" (that's a laugh!) that developers neglect to tell you.

Transformer Leakage. Routine maintenance that certifies that transformers are in good condition every year helps avoid transformer leakage. A transformer leak can cause land contamination and other safety risks. Knowing if a leak is present and planning for maintenance to repair or replace it can be key in keeping energy generation at a maximum. There several ways to carry out preventive maintenance in transformers; however, monitoring transformer oil temperature, pressure and level to prevent a transformer from leaking in the first place is the best way to avoid down time issues. To prevent fatal errors, a parameter range is set and automatic alarms can be issued to check on site before the problem scales.

The solar panels are loaded in toxins and are many times more dangerous than the transformer
