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.
