    My guess is they are aligned with the field’s tramlines that are running N - S. One side captures morning sun, the other the afternoon.

      And the morning and afternoon will be more profitable than yet another solar installation which peaks at noon. Plus generally, East-West installations can be packed more densely. There is some minimum distance when done on flat surfaces (like on the ground) so the panels don’t cast shadows onto each other. And East-West is a bit better with that, so you’ll get more yield per area. Though doesn’t seem they’re doing that, there could be way more panels on that field.
