Agrivoltaics, where crops are grown underneath solar panels, could be very helpful with temperatures rising. Producing renewable energy on farmland can provide an alternative income to agriculture by generating clean electricity and can also improve fruits. The cover provided by the panels can reduce citrus water needs by 70% and produce fruits that are larger, a better color and have fewer defects from exposure to the elements. They may also carry a higher concentration of essential oils in their rind. It requires an initial investment but could pay big dividends.
