High value crops could be grown in the partial shade of solar panels or in areas between solar panels while simultaneously generating significant income from sales of clean electricity.

Placing abundant vegetation under panels leads to an increase in ground shade and humidity, which, in turn, leads to cooler photovoltaic cells and higher energy yields.
View Details
These yield increases are possible because of the microclimate created underneath the solar panels that conserves water and protects plants from excess sun, wind, hail and soil erosion.
