I would like to say I am not against solar energy as I know we need to provide alternative energy for the future. What I am opposed to is the sheer size of the farm on residents doorsteps which will spoil the landscape, habitats for wildlife and take away from the good farming land that we have in this area for food which is also much needed. I am concerned about the huge batteries which appear excessive for the amount of energy the solar panels will produce. What proof is there that the panels will provide sufficient energy for the size of the batteries it would appear that it is just a money making scheme and of no benefit to residents in the area. I’m also concerned that they can catch fire and the damage that will do to the environment.
