I hope you'll forgive me if this is an amazingly stupid question but why does the whole of the soil surface need to be destroyed to convert some of the solar energy?
Products are being invented that encapculate the photovoltaic sheets into glass, either as opaque patterns on the glass, or i have seen one produce where the photovoltaic layer acts like the layer used to tint glass. Wouldn't the use of surfaces like these, mounted on a structure that had periodic foundations, allow some of the current life and ecosystem to remain?
