Tench,

The next time I travel to AZ, if I see more solar panels than desert, then I'll start to worry about "max per acre."

Most of the cost is construction and maintenance. Land is pretty cheap, at least out in the desert.

Well, I am a conservationist. I would much prefer 1 acre 100% utilized and 2 acres left to nature, rather than 3 acres with construction on them at ~33% utilization.

Joe

If you drive from S. California to the hill country of central Texas, you see nothing but flat, not scenic, pretty much useless desert all the way. It's really good for nothing but covering it all with solar panels. In west Texas, you can put them under the forest of windmills.
