A research team at Osaka University in Japan has developed green light wavelength-selective organic solar cells (OSCs) that transmit blue and red light necessary for crop growth and use green light, which contributes only a little to photosynthesis, for power generation.

If this was efficient enough you could use them to shade plants to keep the summer heat down while also giving them full light. Hopefully it's feasible.

Similar, non-wavelength specific translucent panels were for sale a month ago when I bought my 400W traditional panels. It's not just feasible. It's already for sale.
