@tofugolem I'm sure that's a strategy, but it's very clearly not what the dumb retired science teacher is thinking. (I also doubt it's really a strategy with any merit. The worst solar panels have a temperature coefficient of -0.5% every degree above 25°C, and I'd need to be convinced that a plant behind the panel would have an appreciable difference than just a decent air space, as ours have, but...) @james @tofugolem |

There is a strategy of growing plants under solar panels so that the plants cool the underside of the panels, thus improving the efficiency of the panels.
