No I just put them where needed, is hs2 ?Following HS2, eh?
Solar farms are hideous.
I’d rather live next to a housing or industrial estate. At least they are providing jobs and/or housing. Put them on roofs for goodness sake.
Massively affect the public perception of farmers too- a farmer near put one in and ten years later half the village still won’t speak to them. It’s not a big community either. Is it really worth it?

The way these things work, the only people who have got their money , will be the original developer. They will then have sold the farm on to a pension fund, or some such, who will have paid a phenomenal sum in the expectation of a 20-25 rock solid return.
If the government do chop the subs it will be future pensioners who take the hit .
Depends how much you paid for it. These things are sold on as going investments and the rate of return is some times negiligible. A lot of turbines were sold on by a certain company and bought by a hedge fund. I know what they paid, I don’t suppose they will return the investment if they had a hundred years of FIT.Even those ones are profitable if you take the subs out. Not by a lot but they’ll still make 10-15% annually after all costs.

Alternate them !Better if they have a source of seawater for cooling, so maybe up one side (I don't care which one so you can choose).
Nuclear is expensive, government guaranteed Hinkley point at 11.3€ Cents kwhr my solar is generating at less than 4cents.
But not much good at night
You never really finish paying for nuclear.
How much did your solar generate last night? And your solar is poor at that too - I know of plenty making 50p/unit on a Government guaranteed rate
