Custom installations are good because it means more trade jobs and having to upgrade the power lines doesn't seem that bad compared to building new infrastructure, including roads, in order to support large scale remote installations. Furthermore, distributed rooftop solar better equips the public to handle grid failures.
As for the cattle, even if we ever manage to liquidate all of them, it's probably better to put their former pastures to some other type of agriculture or reforestation rather than cover it all with photovoltaics.
