As a project development engineer building solar farms across the American Southwest, I've encountered few obstacles as formidable as caliche soil. This hardened layer of calcium carbonate creates unique engineering challenges that can significantly impact construction timelines and costs if not properly addressed. 

For a developer siting projects today, small/medium utility scale projects can be a great option if you can find locations with low interconnection upgrades.  Those projects can still achieve similar economics to larger ones once transmission and proximity to load are considered.
