>A) that’s simply untrue.

Wrong, it's simply true. Solar panels use land poorly, the MW per unit area is poor.

>You can grow crops and graze under the panels

Agrovoltaics accounts for less than 0.5% of commercial solar installations in rural lands. Effectively no one is doing this, it's not cost effective. You can't fit tractors/combines between the panels.

>And tend not to be put up on your own land without your consent.

What do you mean? No one is putting pump jacks on property without the owners consent.
