I finally saw a community solar farm in person near Albany
Drove past the 5-megawatt project off I-90 last week and was surprised by how low-profile it was, just rows of panels on a field. The sign said it powers about 700 local homes without them needing rooftop panels. It made me wonder why we don't see more of these on unused land near highways. Has anyone looked into subscribing to a project like this in their area?

What's stopping more towns from building these?

Well, my town can't even fix potholes.

Honestly, it's the same short-term thinking that makes us buy cheap stuff that breaks fast.
