The best places for solar panels are roofs for parking lots, over capped trash / dumps where no building can take place, on the sides / medians of some highways where there is space for never to be used for anything else. However, chopping down trees for a solar farm is not the correct answer.
That's exactly what North Haven, CT did. They put a solar farm on top of their old landfill. The electricity generated now powers all the municipal buildings in the town.
