Matter of interpretation. Is humanity at all good for the environment? Some would say no. Solar is clean and deserts are mostly, well, deserts. And climate change seems much worse than having a tiny bit of our deserts being used for PV farms.

Pointless to discuss. Deserts are a really dumb place for solar farms.

Solar will coexist with agricultural land and existing reservoirs, and benefit both.
