Vertical bifacial panels along north-south meridians with plenty of space between both avoids interfering with crop management, and reduces morning moisture loss and afternoon heat stress. Total collection is less than from panels slanted south, but power in morning and afternoon is more valuable than in midday. Farm land available far exceeds the area needed for collection, so spacing the panels out does not cost anything. The extra income comes at no cost beyond initial capital outlay. As panel prices continue relentlessly downward, installation cost becomes relatively more important; fencerows require much less complicated structural support than slanted panels.
Excellent overview of the game-changing Agrivoltaics market, impacts and fast-expanding potential!

Just do not put goats there if you want to not have breakages😊 do you notice the sheep all crowd under the shade it provides for them
