Just read an article about one of these in the local newspaper.

They currently have some challenges with bureaucracy, at least in Austria:

Given that it is an industrial facility it has to be secured from unauthorized access, but as it is a field, it has to be accessable to small animals. So now it is fenced with barbed wire on the top but it's open at the bottom.

Not the case in Germany. Photovoltaic installations on agricultural plots are routine, in certain cases (I.e. the plot is next to a motorway) you don’t even need a planning/building permit, as long as the installation conforms to established building practices. Agrivoltaics is still a niche practice, but not because of bureaucratic concerns.
