    Not all crops need 100% sun exposure in 100% of their growing regions.

    Many crops do better with a little bit of well placed shading to help keep temperatures/sun damage down.

    The way these panels are oriented they may also reduce wind flow over the crops which can improve water retention (but may lead to other problems if crops are over-irrigated).

    Mathematically it’s entirely possible to have better crop yield than a vast expanse of monocrops devoid of shelter.

        From: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agrivoltaics#Advantages

        Increased crop yield has been shown for a number of crops:

        Basil[46] Broccoli[47] Celery[48] Chiltepin peppers[49] Corn[50]/maize[51] Lettuce[52][53] Pasture grass[54] Potatoes[55] Spinach[46] Tomatoes[49] Wheat[56]

        Sheep grazing around solar panels in Australia produce a higher volume of wool, at better quality.[38]

            Yes? Everything ever has advantages and disadvantages. Thanks for catching up.

                Which of those disadvantages would you consider insurmountable?

                    Right, so you have nothing.

            you dont add anything and only rebate what the rest are saying

            what makes you think i have not read it and have found a case use where it helps me¿?

            what would be your solution¿? how would you plant crops¿?

                    @droporain i have not seen the list of crops yet… ups… there is none… oh and this already has a name space farming oh… and look it does not even have a list of advantages and disadvantages… it only has challenges!!!

                    so you want me to plant my lettuces in space and bring them down with a space elevator having soil when i open my door¿?¿?

                    WOW just WOW XXDDDD
