Wow.

In addition to this, apparently farm yields INCREASE if you mix ground-dwelling crops with overhead PV panels, which provide shade/humidity traps for the plants and livestock.

Trees also make shade, and produce humidity, and are probably better at transforming solar energy into something that does a lot more for an ecosystem than power your fridge

Planting trees and reducing energy consumption would be a better environmental win than planting annuals under solar panels
