Projects are made to proposed best solutions for complex problems that a certain company, establishment and even areas like cities and countries have currently experienced. It won’t exist if there is no need of a new development for better benefits of the company. Somehow, the purpose of projects is to provide an enhancement of the functionalities in the day to day business transactions. It will let consumers see more reasons of implementing and indulging on to a certain project if it has a good impact to the society and to their life, just like reducing the use of their current sources for their transactions, fewer expenses to be short. People will also pamper to an idea of every project if this show a more advance stage to increase the profit.



In such case with proposing solar farms project, more positive impacts are delivered than the negative. Aside from it is considered as “green” class project, as part of its derivable benefits, it attracts solar power companies to initiate them because of their ability to generate profit. In some point, having solar farms reduce dependency on electricity generated by plants that use fossil fuels. Through that, the lengths of transmission lines will be reduce and will also decrementally change the cost of project. In that manner, the project manager will be confident to pursue such project. However, the government restricts this ideate because it is not applicable for the farms with class 1, 2, or 3 soil which means a more fertile farm land. This type of problem is no big deal, because the project manager can easily change the target clients for solar farm project. The best place to implement this type of project is in a very rural area where in farmers have the difficulties of caring their plants just because of the absence of electricity. Furthermore, the Canadian Solar Industries Association which is the association that really fights for the project have assert that using solar on the farms will not harm the fertile farmland. Instead, it even helps those ploughed but left unseeded to regain fertility.



Now, everything seems to be alright but another problem exists. There are no stakeholders that could support the project in such account purposes. The project needs to be exposed and must gain popularity just like a superstar actress having lots of avid fans that whatever movies she has, it will always be put on a star list for many have watched and supported it. If this solar farms project could have a higher public profile, it is easy to gain and find stakeholders and to have that public interest, and the association must demonstrate every repayment that this project could give. Nonetheless, they must prioritize those net present value and internal rate or return that this project can burst out for the government and get an approval from them.



In this type of situation that solar farm project is encountering, I conclude that no matter how environmentally “friendly” the proposed project is, still it will undergo a closed examination. More and more flaws to be discovered but that doesn’t mean that it signifies failure; everything under the sun can’t be perfect. Perhaps every criticism labeled in a proposed project is a purpose to make it more than the best it can to show that it is really proposed for a great development and not by another options to take.
