    The combination has significantly higher yield than the respective reductions though. A farmer applying it will make less money on farming, but much more money in total. But given teh increase in temperatures and droughts due to climate change, the combination can secure yields, as it keeps plants from getting sunburnt and drying out as fast.

          I mean that it’s not always a viable investiment, based on the size and the type of farm and even the agricultural practices adopted. *horticultural products work fairly well with agrovoltaic farms *pastures also work rather well with such kind of solar panels *other coltures are not necessarily suited *precision agriculture and precision irrigation system are the future, in this case agrivoltaics may work well however, it is not garanteed that this transition is easy for various farms. Agribusiness corporation have the means to do that, for example.
