Seriously. Is that a real photo? I’ve never seen a solar farm covering hills like that.

It’s a vibe seeing solar panels cover those iconic Southern China valleys

When I look closely it seems real, there’s all the construction tracks, but the solar panels themselves look fake in this resolution. It would help if they had added a few close-ups in the article.

The hill in the photo looks ugly, tbh. Still, much better (and livelier) than the landscape after oilsands or brown coal extraction.
Preferably, most grid-connected solar panels would be on buildings, deserts, and postindustrial land. But in the face of the climate catastrophe, the South China hills are also fine.

I don’t think it looks ugly at all…
I was just thinking about how much of a nightmare it would be to keep them all clean.

I mean - one thing ugly, and the other thing is that this land could be arable or a nature reserve.

The same is true of oil fields but they won’t even let you see pictures of that.
