The fact that you don’t hear anything about it would be a clue it isn’t good.

Without looking, it’s pretty obvious the surface doesn’t get much sun. So you do not develop good groudcover - grasses, shrubs, etc. This leads to erosion, since the rain doesn’t stop. This isn’t good for the local streams and rivers, they’re going to fill in.

That’s just off the top of my head, and I’m just a dumb old engineer, not a farmer or biologist or horticulturalist or forester.

California shut down huge farms and ranches for the stupid kangaroo rat. They shut down logging for an owl and salmon. Yet somehow not a single endangered species is found where they are installing the huge solar farms. Go figure.
