Mesh quality drops drastically when applying any feature

Hi,

I am trying to mesh a huge object for cfd analysis in the form of a solar power plant with the size of around 95mx70m made up of 2 col and 7 rows of modules with individual module of the size of 30m x 4m and the enclosure is even bigger with size of about 100m x 75m x 10m. The orthogonal quality of mesh is around e-02 with default values. The problem is no matter what i do from decreasing element size, target skewness, face meshing, refinement, multizone or anything else, the orthogonal quality drops to the power of e-03 - e-04. I have some experience of fluent but not enough to know where the problem is. Any help would be appreciated.

JFI, reducing the element size with low target skewness and face meshing does the trick here.
