Research at UD with 20-40% shading of tomato, pepper and strawberries for summer production showed mixed effects. . tudied crops under PV panels (Fig. The recent literatures for applications of selective shading systems on the aforementioned crops and others plants in combination with solar production. Cherry tomato production doubledunder solar panels,whi appropriate for shade-tolerant crops. Solar panels also protect crops from cold weather and create a favorable microclimate beneath them.
