(6/8) "...#SolarPanels mounted half a meter above bare soil... higher temperatures can decrease the lifetime and "...efficiency of #SolarPanels. Cooling mechanisms: -#evapotranspiration -plants reflect less solar radiation than the bare soil - panel higher above ground...better air circulation "There are a lot more questions to answer about the relationship between solar energy and #crops (how to more effectively plant, grow, and #harvest those crops...
