Hops for beer flourish under solar panels. They're not the only crop thriving in the shade. - Lemmy.world

Hops for beer flourish under solar panels. They’re not the only crop thriving in the shade.::A farm in Bavaria is covering its hops with solar panels, providing electricity to 250 households and shading the plants from the increasingly scorching summer heat in the process.

Sounds good to me. My only real complaint about solar panels is the space they occupy. That complaint goes away if that space can also be used for crops. It’s a win/win

Well people also complain on expansion of agriculture land so I don’t think consideration on land usage will disappear.

Real problem is that many people want the energy source which is clean, cheap, invisible, safe, doesn’t consume any land or resources and of course has a easy to understand functioning. What could possibly go wrong ?

They do?

Where I live most people complain that agricultural land is being lost to urban sprawl.

Reducing the amount of land available to produce food is not a good thing.
