Studies show that when using silicon-based PV cells that the "leaching of trace metals from modules is unlikely to present a significant risk due to the sealed nature of the installed cells."
Solar can offset the power required for your equipment whether it be irrigation equipment, milking equipment, or general farm essentials.
The modules can be installed in areas that flood, however the electrical equipment cannot. Insurance will be higher for a PV system in an area that floods versus an area that does not.
