2026-06-25 Agrivoltaics made possible by Solar panels that let light through
This claims that up until these panels were installed the crops couldn’t live under solar panels. But I don’t believe that. If the solar panels are 2 or 3 meters above the ground, plenty of sunlight gets through to grow the crops. They don’t have to be special solar panels. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02PUfcmbmgKM8vhQ2cQTY3FuYKkuioUdsdiQpDDDrhRygL1PaNjiCq8gzi5j7GAmTml&id=61577817790681&post_id=61577817790681_pfbid02PUfcmbmgKM8vhQ2cQTY3FuYKkuioUdsdiQpDDDrhRygL1PaNjiCq8gzi5j7GAmTml&mibextid=CDWPTG

2026-06-07 In 2025, the world added an incredible 605 gigawatts of new solar capacity
“”In 2025, the world added an incredible 605 gigawatts of new solar capacity, according to the International Energy Agency. To put that into perspective, it was the largest single year addition of any energy technology in history. This record breaking growth was fueled by falling solar panel costs, expanding manufacturing, and massive deployment across countries
