They’re a no brainer if you have land. Even farmers who don’t want to cover their crops, I see solar panels fitting perfectly over drainage ditches/ creeks / edges of their land. Areas they can’t farm, but could generate a ton of free electricity not just for themselves but also sell back. Then also over water means less evaporation, lower water bills for them.
