i feel like solar panel farms should plant wildflowers underneath the panels so the land can have a second purpose for pollinators

The problem is things get overgrown and panels get covered by litter and pollen which decreases their efficiency

If there’s much sunlight hitting the ground, it’s not a very good solar farm though

wildflowers don’t need that much sunlight. they grow in the woods until forest canopy all the time. examples: trout lily and trillium

solar panels also change direction depending on the suns angle

I feel like it would make the panels harder to clean and maintain
