It is similar to a grain farm with wheat fields around it.
You have to demolish the solar panels and clear a path to the inverter in the middle.
That's where the transformer needs to be placed.
The inverter needs to be within range of the bus stop. So, close enough. Your bus stop is too far away.

You can also build transformers underground.
