A bit of shade from solar panels is helpful, this is known.
The Campaign for the Prevention of Rural Electricity look like enemies of the State, the people, and the farmers.

I suspect, but have not done numbers, that in wet Devon a field which caught 50% of the rain on panels and led it away via gutters would be less flooded. There were a lot of crops lost to flooding last winter
The French and perhaps Australian approach to car parks, covers likewise, is useful and comfortable.
The Campaign for the Prevention of Rural Electricity ( #CPRE ) activities are a nuisance, I assume linked to fossil floggers.
The #CPRE's excellent Jackie Copley:
“No amount of green belt loss reduces house prices .... If you don’t tackle the real problems, you are not going to find the real solutions.”
