re: 1600 Acre Solar Farm coming to St. Landry Parish

What about the accepted design considerations of the local wind code? I always thought it was odd pile design for these trackers were for Risk Category 1. One would think that if we plan on using these solar farms for dedicated power generation the Risk category should be bumped to at least 2/3 to mitigate uprooting parts of the block at least in hurricane risk areas. From a developers point of view I know why, the upsizing of piles, torque tube, and mounting would be too costly.
