Yup, I don't think industrial is appropriate in many circumstances, any more than it would be for an area of wind turbines on moorland. For instance I've seen sheep grazing in between the panels (which IIRC are mounted on heliostats) on this solar farm: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/168359464#map=15/39.8239/-5.6562&layers=N. I presume that after installation the ground is more-or-less as it was (not for instance contaminated as is the case of many rural industrial areas, nor with traffic of heavy goods vehicles).
