Attached is a pdf file discussing the “Cost of Reclaiming Land Currently Used for Solar Panels, Back to Farmland”

It discusses “ There are THREE main areas involved in returning solar facilities back to productive agricultural activities.

First there is the cost of the removal of equipment including the solar panels, the support structure, wiring, concrete stands, inverters, poles, fencing and buffer vegetation.

Second is mitigation of any heavy meal or herbicide residues.

Finally, there are the coast of restoring the soil properties that are essential to supporting crop productivity.
