Farms can install vertical solar panels without reducing crop yields
Opens article looks at picture. Yup bullshit.
Oh. Sorry. I thought it was good to be able to both have farming land and solar power. Sorry for missing the mark.
How would this not reduce crop yields? Mathematically it is impossible, plenty of roofs and other things to put the solar panels on.
Not all crops need 100% sun exposure in 100% of their growing regions.
Many crops do better with a little bit of well placed shading to help keep temperatures/sun damage down.
The way these panels are oriented they may also reduce wind flow over the crops which can improve water retention (but may lead to other problems if crops are over-irrigated).
Mathematically it’s entirely possible to have better crop yield than a vast expanse of monocrops devoid of shelter.
I’ll bite which specific crops do better in partial sun rather than full sun?
Increased crop yield has been shown for a number of crops:
Basil[46]
Broccoli[47]
Celery[48]
Chiltepin peppers[49]
Corn[50]/maize[51]
Lettuce[52][53]
Pasture grass[54]
Potatoes[55]
Spinach[46]
Tomatoes[49]
Wheat[56]
@marmarka@mastodon.eus@droporain you have made it very clear that its not an idea you would apply and your only contribution to the conversation has been lol look omg shitty idea
ok we get you, you dont see any utility
you dont add anything and only rebate what the rest are saying
what makes you think i have not read it and have found a case use where it helps me¿?
what would be your solution¿? how would you plant crops¿?
enlighten us please add something to the conversation
What if like we grew crops in space, they Could get way taller because like no gravity. And we could really control watering. We could used like a really tall elevator to get the food back to earth covered in solar panels so like it would gain energy. You know like brawndo and stuff.
@droporain lol XXDD yeah so solar panels are expensive but.... omg shitty idea not for me and not in my budget XXDDD
You know what your right. This is a great idea, you just need a name for it how about “Cyber Crops” or “Tesla Gardens” Hyper food loops" also you should learn to pick up on when people are patronizing you.
@droporain i have not seen the list of crops yet...... ups... there is none.... oh and this already has a name space farming oh.... and look it does not even have a list of advantages and disadvantages... it only has challenges!!!!
so you want me to plant my lettuces in space and bring them down with a space elevator having soil when i open my door¿?¿?
WOW just WOW XXDDDD
@droporain can you show me a list of crops that would benefit from space growing¿?¿?
No I work at Costco and I love you.
@droporain if you want to be loved back stop pissing other peoples dreams have a nice day ;)
Good luck with your hoeing your gonna need it.
