Ed Miliband approved the 2,500-acre solar farm being developed by Sunnica on the Cambridgeshire -Suffolk border and the 3,000-acre Cottam solar farm in Lincolnshire .
The economics is simple. Farmers typically pay a top-rate annual rent of 500 per acre for good land growing lucrative crops such as potatoes.
Solar panels can generate rents of 1,000 to 1,200 a year every year for up to four decades , with rents linked to inflation.
Miliband ’s plans include a tripling of solar capacity within five years .
This means installing about 350,000 acres of panels an area bigger than Berkshire .
In the last seven days alone , plans were announced for a 5,000-acre solar farm to be built between Long Stratton and Diss in Norfolk .
Many fear that speaking out against solar developments will prompt their landlords to cut short their leases.
One farmer's family has farmed 150 acres in mid-Cornwall with cattle, sheep and arable crops for three generations.
