Default OT - saw my first solar farm

There's one being completed a few miles from us, a mile or so SE of
Hayle in West Cornwall. It's roughly at the junction of Wheal Alfred
Road and Drannack Mill Lane, Google Maps 50.177, -5.388. A
south-facing slope, perfectly good farmland AFAIK. Google Maps shows
the field being harvested for hay, with no sign yet of the solar
panels.


What is currently claimed to be the UKs largest solar farm has
been built close to me. It seems to be a particularly suitable
location.
