Yep, gotten into that argument, got downvoted into oblivion by pointing out that covering 80% of the space above crops with sun-blocking solar panels might, you know, affect the crops.
Was confidently told that crops only need about 4 hours of sunlight, lol.
I mean all of that is big ol fat case depends. Like elevation distance from equator, time of year, what crop and at stage of development.
I genuinely wish we could disable the upvote and downvote counters. Its 99% group think and it isn’t healthy for the discussion.
