"Studies from all over the world have shown crop yields increase when food crops are partially shaded with solar panels. #Agrivoltaic yield increases are possible because of the microclimate created underneath the solar panels that conserves water" #Solar #climatesky

Last year, we found that you could increase strawberry yield by 18 per cent under solar panels compared to strawberries in an open field. This agrivoltaic crop yield bump has been shown for dozens of other crops and solar panel combinations all over the world, including basil, broccoli, celery, corn, grapes, kale, lettuce, pasture grass, peppers, potatoes, tomatoes and more

The gift that keeps on giving: How solar panels on farms can help increase crop yields

A new study finds farmers can enjoy increased crop yeilds under partial shade of solar panels long after they stop working decades from now.
