This is great, I guess it really was the economics of panels holding them back all these years. Great to see solar taking off, there are so many ways it can help, like shading parking lots (double win), apparently being great shade for some plants like hops, coving things like canals which both avoid using additional land area and reduces evaporative losses of the water, etc etc!

A lot of solar panels are now semitransparent too, now, meaning as you said people can grow plants below them. I love the shading cars in parking lots idea, but no one seems to have impemented that in Australia just yet.
