Land Use
One of the drawbacks of solar farms is the issue of land use. Solar farms must be located in sunny areas, where they will be able to produce power on a somewhat regular basis. Because of the high cost of solar equipment, it may also be necessary for farms to be built on cheap land in remote areas. Since solar farms usually cover many acres, they run the risk of disturbing an ecosystem, either when they are built or in the future as animals migrate and pants change with the seasons. At the same time, utility operators must construct large electrical towers or dig trenches to carry the power generated at the solar farm to population centers that may be miles away. Although the builders of solar farms must take precautions to protect the environment, the presence of a solar farm on a previously untouched piece of land is a major change that forces nature to adapt.
Cost
One final effect of solar power farms is the money they take away from other initiatives, leaving other environmental causes without funding. Solar energy is relatively expensive because of the investment required for start-up costs, which has led to government incentives that make solar power more appealing to developers and utility companies. These in turn draw funding and incentives away from other technologies that have more immediate environmental impacts, such as clean coal technology and recycling awareness programs. The construction of a solar farm may mean that a community must forgo a new recycling center, water treatment plant, or other environmental program.

What is the disadvatages of solar power?
Some disadvantages of solar power include high upfront costs for installation, intermittent energy production due to weather conditions, and the need for large areas of land for solar farms. Additionally, solar panels can have a negative environmental impact during manufacturing and disposal.

How do solar farms affect animals?
Solar farms have very little effect on animals. If the farms consist of PV Panels, these are installed on frames above the ground so the land below is still usable for grazing or even agriculture. Animals are not affected by the electricity generated.
