Solar panel fields where you hunt

[JHT]

Any first hand experience dealing with an install & afterwards.

From what I am hearing the solar companies are going full steam ahead on property owners.

I know they look silly, Musk & Bezos are killing all of us following Biden's orders. I get it.

Dish it.

All the ones I've seen are high fenced off, or at least fenced off and nothing under them.

We are getting them on the property I hunt. We know where they are going, but they have yet to start the install, just surveying and a few test sites right now, it will be interesting to see what happens when they start.

Beats the hell out of windmills.

As if we don’t lose enough habitat to urbanisation every year... they have a place, and that’s on top of buildings

highly agree! What do these fields serve? there are 4 going in close to my property, doesn't interfere with me but curious as to who benefits from it and is the power gain substantial?

I have a great camp house near Childress where we hunt. Great set up and secluded. We’ve heard they are coming in right across the road from us, literally a 100 yds away. Very sad.

2500 acre solar venture planned here in brown county
Last vote was not to give them a tax abatement.
Like wind turbines, they can’t exist without tax and Government help
They benefit the landowner and the company, no one else. Limited local jobs created.

Good luck with your hunting grounds

we hunted last year next to a 1500 acre Solar farm.


It was one of the most ugliest things I've ever seen. Destroyed a Beautiful Ranch.

They are building solar farms at a rapid pace...one going in in Pearsall and several in Webb/Duval Counties. They are atrocious looking, i guess they are better than a wind farm visually but they gobble more land.

At least a wind farm could work at night if the wind blows!

I know when wind farms were in talks with my in-laws it was incredible what power they had in controlling your access to your own property. I would only imagine the solar farms are very similar and probably have rules about access and hunting with x feet of the field etc.

Landowners getting $500 an acre and up is hard to pass up.

[DaveC]

When I pass them driving by I have to wonder how they mow around and under them?

In exchange for ruining their property.....chump change IMO

Would not be hard for me to tell them to kick rocks.

Might as well sell the land to them since you will not be able to use the same ground they are occupying.
