If they got the money for it some good soil could be set out under the panels to cut food costs down as well, apparently there is a good variety of crops that perform well when given partial shading under panels.

There's so much shareholder value being squandered here

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Australia's first Indigenous-owned solar farm connected to a power grid has been officially opened in a Northern Territory remote community.

The 60-member Marlinja community, located 700 kilometres south of Darwin, has built a solar farm and battery after years of planning the microgrid project with Indigenous clean energy organisation Original Power.

Marlinja resident and Mudburra woman Janey Dixon said the community had been frustrated for years about suffering frequent wet season disconnections from their nearest diesel power station at Elliott, 25km away.

She said she was even more excited that, as well as having more reliable local electricity, the microgrid meant residents wouldn’t have to buy as many expensive power cards to run their household meters.

"We hope in the future we'll be able to sell to the neighbouring cattle station and the local school," Ms Mellor said.

"The issue has been around the stability of the grid, so that has been a sticking point, but we are getting very close to full implementation of those solar farms," she said.

Man, assuming they have the money, indigenous tribes also in the US could do some amazing solarpunk shit. Renewable energy like this, rewilding and traditional sustainable land management, maybe even guaranteed housing in a communal setting. But they have a hard time getting the feds to give them the funding for the treaty-mandated healthcare shit as it is.
