Takeaways:
- Using land to grow food and host solar panels at the same time can increase yields and generate extra income for farmers.
- The National Renewable Energy Laboratory found that, on average, tomato yields doubled compared to non-agrivoltaic sites.
- Tomato plants growing under solar panels can create a cooling effect on the panels due to their transpiration.
