2. Germany isn't getting much electricty out of it
Of course they aren't prime territory for solar, so that has something to do with it. Maybe the plant infrastructure wouldn't pay them.

But when I was trying to find out what electricity Germany was getting out of all those panels, the numbers were shockingly low. Theoretically the solar plants are designed for optimum siting, which makes a difference.

2MW is pretty small - no huge transmission structure needed for that! Also it is sited adjacent to a natural gas plant, so all the infrastructure is already there.
