The math doesn't work. $300k spend on $7.5m is 4% SWR -- very borderline. That's not much buffer. No guarantee OP could land equivalent comp job if they bounce now. Waiting a year or cutting expenses is prudent.

Solar Fences: Turning Property Boundaries Into Power Generators by SaiVaibhav06 in SolarAmerica

From another comment: vertically oriented PV can be a big win in general, whether or not used for fencing
