A synthetic cover will not create any decomposers.
I don't see why you couldn't install solar panels without adding a synthetic cover. These panels can be quite big and are usually posed at an angle, so that there's plenty of room underneath allowing for plants to grow. Look at this picture for example: http://www.nanosolar.com/images/beck_kif_1339k.jpg . It's a small picture, but you can clearly see that the panels don't take all the room and the cover isn't synthetic, reducing the perturbation caused.

Why would you want to destroy so much of Mother Earth to save her?
Sometimes an anthropogenic modification of a natural area can be beneficial rather than destructive. This can be the case with solar panels installed in the desert.
