What are the arguments against this project realistically speaking? I’m just curious how a project that is seemingly a decent win/win will inevitably not reach its potential.
There aren’t any. Evidence shows, from China, that agrivoltaics can rejuvenate land that was previously desert (link in the article). Families get to keep their family farm land they’d otherwise lose, supported by lease payments. California almost doubles its utility solar generation capacity, from 24GW to 45GW. And in the future, all of this solar could be removed to put the land back into production if possible, which would never happen if the land was developed.
