Certain crops thrive in environments with solar panels, with studies showing improved growth and reduced watering needs when plants are grown beneath elevated panels or on
Learn More
These yield increases are possible because of the microclimate created underneath the solar panels that conserves water and protects plants from excess sun, wind, hail and soil erosion.
