yeah and there's crop failure coming decades in advance compared to IPCC's predictions, so better not using crop space.



Some of that crop failure is due to heat, which could be mitigated by using solar panels to provide shade. That doesn't work for all crops, some of which require direct sun, but it works for more than I expected.


No crops require 100% direct sun.

Maize and wheat yield is reduced a bit, without, but the year-round revenue from solar panels easily exceeds the difference.
