Localities shouldn't have control over this, outrageous. A solar company should have the right to build solar panels on their land. This town should be leveled to set an example.

A US town has rejected a proposal for a solar farm following public concerns that solar panels 'suck up all the energy from the sun'

A proposal for a solar farm has been rejected by the town council in Woodland, North Carolina following public concerns.

Members of the locality expressed their fear and distrust of solar panels before a vote on whether the land in question should be rezoned to allow Strata Solar Company to build a solar farm off US Highway 258.

One local man, Bobby Mann said that businesses would stop going to Woodland, the community would suffer as a result and the farms would suck up all the energy from the sun, according to the Roanoke-Chowan News Herald.

“You’re killing your town,” he said. “All the young people are going to move out.”A retired science teacher, Jane Mann, expressed concerns that plants in the vicinity of the panels would not photosynthesize which would prevent the plants from growing.She also questioned the high number of cancer deaths in the area, saying no one could tell her that solar panels didn’t cause cancer.

Woodland is a popular choice for solar farms because it has an electrical substation which the solar power generated by the panels can be hooked up to.Three other solar farms have been approved by the council. One of them has started installing solar panels.


A petition rejecting solar farms coming to the area was handed to the council and it was requested that any future solar farm applications be put to a referendum.

Company representatives from Strata then spoke and tried to put the concerns of residents at ease.

They told them “there are no toxic materials on site” and “this is a tried and true technology.”

The council gave the people what the wanted and voted 3-1 against rezoning the land and later voted for a moratorium on future solar farms.
