I suspect no one definitively knows. You may have to conduct experiments with an existing solar farm.
I suspect day time seeing could be impaired as thermals rise off it.
The panels and metal frame structure will release heat quite quickly in the winter I suspect, but large areas of concrete, tarmac, buildings etc will release their heat more slowly which could impair seeing conditions.
Security lighting at night could also be problematic.
