Living next to a solar farm - concerns?

[Morethanrain]

Bruce, great information, thank you so much.
If anyone knows of a solar farm in the 8 - 20 acre range within an ass's roar of Portland Oregon I'd appreciate know where it is, so I can go along and check it out. Thanks.

Ampster - for sure this would hit the valuation of the house, and if we ever had to sell that would be an issue. Unfortunately the county hearing officer granted a conditional use waiver to put these panels up on what is beautiful farmland. And the county ruling beats the state ruling, which did not grant a waiver.

It may be too late if the Conditional Use Waiver has already been issued. Look at the expiration date and the conditions. There may be traffic mitigations and other terms that you can use to hold their feet to the fire. If you really want that parcel there may be things you can do to reduce the impact it might have on the value.

Are you safe??

I would not have thought it was at all dangerous until I saw my buddy set his neighbors fence on fire when the tracking mechanism on his experimental heliostat failed.

I would suggest that you keep Graham crackers, Hershey bars and marshmallows on hand just in case
