"Chiltepin pepper plants produced three times as much fruit as those grown in full sun. Jalapenos matched their usual harvest while using 65 percent less water. Tomatoes grown under the array came in at twice the normal yield. Farmers get a second check from the same acre they already work. The old choice between growing food and making power is starting to look like a false one." https://energiesmedia.com/solar-panels-farmland-crops-agrivoltaics/ #Agrivoltaics
