Seems like a win-win situation to me - 1 piece of infrastructure - 2 uses....

If there is a useful space to put solar that does not impinge on agriculture then it should be used.

Having them near vertical and south facing will maximise available solar generation when the sun is lowest in the sky in winter.
G'Day cobber!
