love the move away from just seeing the choice for land use as solar or agriculture when it can be both, using the infrastructure of power generation to help protect growing plants could really help increase productivity for a small-holding especially when things like watering systems are tied into the PV infrastructure and we finally get round to taking advantage of roof space on things like barns.

I’ve seen some cool pictures of farms in arid regions using solar panels above irrigation to reduce evaporation too, i think solar mixed into where it’s other properties are useful or where it’s a good fit looks and works so much better than the neat rows of solar farms.

    yeah, i really hope we see better systems emerge for using energy at peek times or sharing power locally so that we can start moving away from the grid.
