Solar+ (winter wheat, potatoes, clover and celery). Yields from crops grown under the #agrovoltaic system - celery+12%, Winter wheat+3%, clover -8%, potatoes+3%.

83% solar+103% potato = 186% productivity

Solar+grapes - but key here is that solar system is being designed to create broader benefits for the crops below

One piece that makes me laugh - be more confident - is that solar panels are strong enough to be used to *shield the crops from hail.* https://twitter.com/SolarInMASS/status/1328287526818287618
