This is now a superfund site. Forever chemicals (PFAS), lead, cadmium, zinc, microplastics, and glass shards have destroyed the soil below them for centuries.
The solar installer will have filed bankruptcy or sold the LLC multiple times by now. They’re no longer on the hook for cleaning up this mess, nor do they plan to spend the millions.
Who’s stuck remediating the superfund site? The landowners who sold out in the first place. It’s baked right into their contracts.
You won’t hear that from them, though. They signed gag orders when they took their foreign renewable money.
And when the landowners can’t even afford it… it falls on the town. It falls on the local taxpayers.

Too bad. Solar is an effective point of use (POU) solution. Things like individual homes, street signals, lighting for parking lots, etc. These solar farms are an absolute boondoggle for the manufacturers of the panels. Complete waste of money.

Correct.
