I wonder what that land can now be used for after solar panels get smashed to bits on it, besides another solar farm?

Could it ever go back to agriculture? What would be left behind?

I have read that they apply some serious chemicals to inhibit growth of any type of plant life to avoid cutting/maintenance. I wouldn’t think they can raise anything off of it for quite a while.

Just leftover plastic and metal shards, just scoop them up and send to the landfill.

I had someone try to convince me that after the lease on the land is up, the solar company/utility will remove all of the panels and infrastructure and return it to “normal”. I explained the enormous of concrete, steel, and wire that’s underground is the problem.
I asked what happens if the “company” is bankrupt by then?
Crickets and a blank stare...
I drive by 100’s of acres of panels that used to be cotton fields everyday here in Mississippi.
