You will probably get more $ but the land will be ruined forever. Make sure your contract has them bond the cleanup and remediation cost. That will probably kill the deal though because of the heavy metal leaching. Also put in additional cost for PM these activities as the company will probably be gone by the times this has to be done.
When you say ruined forever, are you referring to if they dont clean up the site if it goes belly up or does it do some sort of long term residual damage?

I’m confused as to why you think the solar farms would only be there for a little while? If they start to break down over the years, wouldn’t they replace panels? The sun is not going to run out.

Both, you will have chem/heavy metal leaching into the soil which for all intents and purposes can not be remediated We are pretty much installing mini superfund sites everywhere but hey we are all going to drown in rising oceans so frick it anyway right?

Well they say it only releases a minimal amount of aluminum, not enough to damage the soil. But the problem is the amount of space they take up. You displace the wildlife and destroy the natural ecosystem.

Construction of an industrial-scale solar power plant requires removal of trees, brush and root balls prior to installation of the arrays, creating an ecological wasteland. Grading, pile driving, blasting, electric cable trenching and road construction will compact the soil, likely delaying agricultural use for years after the project’s end.
