I don't know the answer to this but...

Aunt leased out about 6 acres to a solar farm. The site went online last year I think. It had been under construction for well over a years (seems slooooow).

Back in March or so, big wind storm came through the area and damaged some of the panels and bent the poles over. Looks like the entire site is now offline and I noticed when I went past last week that all the panels were sitting level and not tracking the sun as usual. At the time of the day I went by I would expect them facing west. None of the damage or debris appears to have been touched since I first saw this back Easter weekend.

So, basically, there is $0.00 revenue coming in on that site right now. Wonder how long it sits before a crew gets to it?
