Neat thing with solar is you can plant shade tolerant crops right under them. So you can have your avocados and toast your bread, too!

Probably not avocados, specifically. The wheat for the bread, probably.

I was unaware of wheat (!) but I have read about successes with shade tolerant avocado under photovoltaics in Mexico. I think, the Duke variety? It was a few years back. Those are usually hand harvested so they were not high mast or vertical oriented, even.

Wheat is generally not shade tolerant. And spacing of solar wouldn’t permit harvesters. Interplanting in solar farms would be hand harvested and maintained crops.

Gonna have to put your solar panels awfully high off the ground to drive a combine under them.
