Comment on What else can we do with sugar (sucrose)?

  That’s a very active area of research, there’s a handful of farms on at least the west coast experimenting with utilizing solar in that way. Either to shade certain crops or as shade for livestock, while of course getting the solar energy benefits

  I’m sure that something can still be grown in the shade of the solar panels

  Livestock.

  Sheep grazing is actually a reasonably common secondary usage of solar farms

  I read an article somewhere about how solar panels can (and are by some countries) keep the ground below cool enough to grow plants and crops and such when the climate is otherwise not suitable to do so. Quite interesting indeed!
