everything is addressed in that article.

actually this is "bad kind of article", because there is so much information in there / "everything covered". that it is almost impossible to have comments about it lol.

It’s really not.

Literally laying them flat on minimally cleared land would win the simulation. Fewer panels, fewer acres, less mounting hardware, less labor, more power. Real world conditions not included in the analysis, such as wholesale electricity prices over a day and land not being flat, drives a lot of these choices.
