I thot this should have been done years ago. Notice the animals like the shade provided by the panels just like I enjoy the shade in our hot parking lots in Calli.
How to convince politicians and landlords? We had a sheep program here and they said they preferred continuing to pay for mowing. Ah, maybe that was the problem, it was a free sheep program.
Great, but wonder also... what's the impact on wildlife? These large solar installations that I see often disrupt/prevent wildlife movement (large and small) from large, tall impermeable fence structures.
This was short on analytics. More plant volume in semi shade may lead to a less productive carbon to nitrogen ratio. The video skipped over this vital aspect. On the other hand if the panels are sufficiently small as to allow for greater production in the areas exposed to the sun while roots take advantage of the shaded zones, then the panels work in s similar way to a weed barrier. At the end of the day the weight gain of the grazers will tell the story.
