Solar arrays will not be the only things that end up on top of landfills now or in the future. Once a landfill is capped and does not pose a danger to the public you'd be amazed what they get used for. I work for an environmental/geotechnical firm and we actually redevelop these properties into everything from fields to solar farms to upscale commercial developments. The Home Depot/Jordan's furniture located in Reading, MA at Walker's Brook Crossing is actually on top of a landfill. I personally just developed a 57 acre parcel in Silicon Valley, CA right on San Francisco Bay that is on top of a 75-foot thick landfill for a very high end commercial client.
