1.5 biljion for 400 MW that is almost 4$ per MW, any idea why the costs are so high?

All the ground mount systems I’ve seen are installed close to the ground.

My guess is that the cost of extra materials and labor needed to elevate the arrays would be greater than what the land could produce with grazing/farming.

Bunnies and guinea pigs, you could ranch them. Both good eating.

Chickens, they’d roost on top of the panels and create the need for cleaning….

In spite of the current GOP Florida government.

Has anyone thought about building these about ten feet off the ground so maybe cattle could graze and rest under the panels? Maybe even build on a cattle farm/ranch so the farmer/rancher gets some extra cash, the cattle can get out of the sun and still produce the planned power.

Looking at all the grass around those panels in the picture, I’m thinking we need to start eating more rabbit….
