I don't believe the rural countryside is an appropriate location for such a large scale farm that has such a dramatic impact both visually and to the local ecosystem. The plans to store energy and sell it back to the grid when the price is high seem like a cash-grab. Whilst I am pro-green. The size of the project appears to have no material economies of scale compared to multiple smaller sites and therefore I don't understand the need to have such a monolithic site. Further to this, the battery farm poses a fire risk as has been seen with multiple other battery farms and I haven't seen an adequate risk assessment of this, nor do i believe housing this so close to a school is a good idea.
