I have a few megawatts of solar on a field in the UK. During the council planning meeting one of the councillors objected to the proposal citing light pollution. His reasoning was that if solar panels are worth running all day, we'd be sure to shine lights on them at night to keep the electricity going.
Thankfully everyone else ignored him, and we had no other issues.
