    But how much free land does it have? It is not that much Forrest to cut down but why bother? The sun will generate the same power to miles to the west and this is surely not the only location they can use.

        No it isn’t. Forrest is a much more diverse ecosystem than grassland.

        And from a purely economical point: you’d need to clear the forest and engineer something to make the ground suitable for the construction of the solar park. It doesn’t make sense if there is an area without a Forrest.
