Have grazing animals on natural meadows instead of artificially sown lawn and you'll not only have the trimming taken care of but also support a variety of plant and animal life under your panels. Sheep and bunnies for example are ideal for the job, don't you think RamRabbit :-)
There is a parking lot and what appears to be multi-level parking garage right behind the panels. Ain't nobody putting goats here. The options are: pay to weed trim around thousands of supports on a regular basis or pay to gravel once.
Goats aren't incompatible with urban environments, especially if they're only brought in to graze every month or so.
Goats are however incompativle with many solar deployments because they will climb up on top of the panels and cause trouble for no other reason than they can (goats are lovable assholes like that)
