Absolutely our thoughts Tony. We live in a very attractive area of the country, on the edge of an AONB. There are several fields of solar panels around us, and they're fine - we've had years of fields covered in black polythene for large parts of the year, or as you say oil seed rape. At least solar farms don't give hay fever! (Oil seed rape is horrible stuff to live near.)
What I find more frustrating is the lack of solar farms on industrial / large commercial buildings with their huge roof area. If there was rather more of that then there wouldn't be so much need to put them on farmland.
As for the switcher problem, well that's our problem to develop better ones! ?
