A lot of plants outdoors are grown in partial shade via shade netting. In my head, it makes a lot of sense to supply some of that shade with solar panels. Likewise, it's a win because we "dual" use the same land surface area. We also probably save on water by not leaving so much of it to evaporate from the direct sunlight.

Maybe someone smarter or more knowledgeable can help out, but this strikes me as a very elegant solution.
