     @Maltimore Yes! And it's real. I doubt it will be implemented on large scale soon, but it's also interesting for garden and community design imho.

     @GwenfarsGarden I honestly never thought of it because I'm very new to gardening and always thought that at least roughly more sun = better, especially for the mentioned crops like tomatoes. But it's nice to see that this "cooperation" works so well!

     Of course not. But it's way better than solar panels on grass or even dust/gravel. Regarding the large scale, see my other comment (hope it federates correctly).
