KILMERSDON Parish Council has given a resounding "no" to proposals to site nearly 20,000 solar panels on 35 acres of farm land in the conservation village.
The planning application is for a solar farm on land at New Tyning Farm in Waterside Lane by INGR Solar Ltd.
On Monday night, councillors heard objections from villagers and then agreed to recommend refusal.
Mendip District Council will make the final decision, probably in the autumn.
The application has already caused anger among families living near the two fields on either side of Waterside Lane close to neighbouring Haydon.
As a result a campaign group called the Jack and Jill Hill Preservation Society has been created to fight the plans.
The society has won the support of the Council for the Protection of Rural England.
At this week's meeting concerns were raised about the risk of flooding and the closeness of the village school to the solar farm both in terms of possible contamination from damaged solar panels and the noise generated.
It is feared that noise from six large electrical cabins spread across the field and the size of small shipping containers could reach 78 decibels, the same noise level as a train entering an underground station.
Objectors wondered whether any decision could be delayed in the light of Energy Secretary Greg Barker's forthcoming statement giving official guidance and more power to stop solar farm projects being sighted on high grade farmland.
Concerns were earlier raised about the construction of a solar farm over three months which the preservation society forecast will involve 278 heavy lorry journeys passing through Charlton.
Radstock Town Council, which also met on Monday night, backed residents' concerns particularly the impact on the new community garden in Haydon, the noise and the loss of high agricultural land.
