Land use is absolutely no problem at all for solar.

Solar coexists synergetically with agriculture, operating more efficiently, cutting water demand, and improving yield. Also with parking (keeping cars cooler) and roofs (extending life).

I'd be curious if there are sources showing that solar panels could improve agricultural productivity, but I have doubts, since plants and panels compete for the same resource, sunlight. In terms of cooling, it should be noted that contrary to popular belief, solar panels heat up whatever is underneath them, they don't cool.

You may doubt, but most plants can only use a small amount of light. Once that is exceeded, they endure any more, and benefit from relief.

Some crops lose a bit of yield, shaded, like wheat, but the value of power year-round exceeds the loss.
