You don't need additional space for solar panels. You can add them to existing buildings or even above parking spaces. So you actually need zero space.

Just imagine how much money a solar electrician can make servicing rooftop panels in a large middle class area. It may be more efficient (overall) for utility companies to build solar farms rather than leaving it up to consumers.
