> It has been known for centuries that most plants benefit from partial shade.

Again, "most plants" does not necessarily include "crops", most of which have been selectively bred over millennia while grown under full sun. The step is not from "plants do well under shade" to "plants do well under solar panels", it's to "crops we've never grown in partial shade might actually do better in partial shade too".

You are really reaching now. It would be better to stop before you embarrass yourself too much.

What a compelling argument. Sounds like you fully justified your claim that we knew all of this centuries ago. Good job.
