Yeah, because the previous state was much better. That area was a military training ground of the red army. It couldn't be used because of remains (chemicals, hand grenades, amunition and other nice stuff), cleaning it was deemed too expensive. Now the area has been cleaned by the company which built that solar park. They have leased the area and intend to use it for 20 to 30 years for solar power. Then the panels will be removed and recycled.
Oh, and it is indeed very friendly to the environment, as now the environment has time to regenerate after all the nice remains have been removed. The area in question is supposed to be heathland, so no high plants growing.
That is the gist of the text, which goes with your photo.
