Why has lincolnshire been selected as the coverage area for solar projects? Why have solar projects been prioritised over wind farms as wind farms can generate more power than required hence why they get turned off when they have produced too much. Would it be not be more of an investment to have wind turbines. Coverage area of solar panels needed to generate the power required is far greater than one static wind turbine. Solar is fully dependent on weather and light and at night time they become redundant. A solar farm in winter can only work on potential daylight for an average of 8 hours. Wind turbines can work day and night. This seems like a highly ineffective use of our productive farmland and I object to this project and the three other projects planned for the area.
