I found this article really interesting. When you live in a watered desert, as N UTAH is, here along the Wasatch Front, you are constantly thinking about how to save water and how to continue farming as the earth gets warmer. This article explains that SOLAR PV do not like heat that much. And that they function more efficiently in HEAT when there are crops growing underneath the SOLAR PV panels, cooling them.

Solar panels handle heat better when they’re combined with crops
New study finds that an optimal arrangement of solar panels on farms can cool the panels down by 10 degrees—crucial for their efficiency.
