For example, certain cool-season crops may increase in yield when shaded by solar panels. Soil shaded by the panels may also retain more moisture. At the same time, the plants growing underneath the

If the canopy tree or solar panel “competes” for too much light, it will result in reductions in photosynthesis and yields, thereby impeding the growth of the underling.

Agrivoltaics refers to any type of farming or crop cultivation that occurs underneath or around solar panels. Crops can thrive under solar panels since they protect from the harsh sun.
