Maybe with a solar concentrating array, but these are photovoltaics are they not? So shouldn't be a problem. I suspect this is just your typical nimby backlash to any large project. There's plenty of that where I live too, alas.

A solar farm has got to be the least disruptive power generation method (especially if combined with agrovoltaics). I really don't see how you could be against it.
