IIRC we are at the point now where the cost of high tension lines is significantly greater than just overbuilding the PV. No need to put all the panels out in the southwest and run wires everywhere, just put 2x, 3x, or whatever you need much closer to where you need it and skip those expensive lines.
There are no open spaces close enough to demand to avoid high tension power lines - at least not without demolishing all the customers houses.
