I worked as an engineer on a similar single axis tracker 88MW solar farm here in Australia. The sheep tend to eat the cables if they can. The panels provide shade and the grass grows under them. The life of the plant is about 30 years. It’s quiet, unlike wind turbines. The construction period is about 8 months. They hammer thousands of steel piles in to support the arrays, or they drill and concrete them in. Grass fires are common due to bad joints in the wiring.
