Solar landfill

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
While browsing topics related to brownfields, brownfield remediation, and the effect of brownfields on ecosystem health, I stumbled upon this article which I felt was underdeveloped and and written too technically for the general public to understand. As someone with a good deal of experience in the Solar PV development industry, specifically having had hands-on experience with this type of project, I felt as though this article could be improved in a variety of ways in order to make the topic more accessible.

Evaluate the article
Introduction has very little information and does not provide much background on the topic.

"Development" section lacks information on the actual development of Solar Farms on landfills, and instead focuses on unsubstantiated claims of capacity and speculates on what makes a site suitable. This section would benefit from the inclusion of information regarding zoning, incentives, potential hurdles, and differences in different states/programs.

Article only has three sources, one of which has a vested financial interest in the success of such programs as described in the article.

Little discussion on Talk page.
