I created my own glider that will continually expand the solar farms for me so I don't have to spend time going there.

In my playthroughs I am spending too much time on solar, so with this (rather sizeable) time investment I hope to save time in the future. Feel free to copy, expand, improve etc.
I have compiled a number of screenshots in an Imgur album to explain the details a bit better to compliment the video:

This is version 1.0 , but it has a lot of potential for expansion:
* Automatic concrete pavement
* Automatic rail lines
* Automatic forest clearence first
* Automatic biter clearance first
* Automatic landfll (if moddable)
