Researchers from Wageningen UR have found that growing soft fruits, such as raspberries and strawberries, under solar panels can have both positive and negative effects. Raspberries grown with 40% translucent solar panels experienced about 50% less light, but adapted by forming larger, thinner leaves and had a negligible decrease in production and quality. Strawberries, on the other hand, made less leaf area under solar panels and experienced a 23% decrease in production with 40% light transmission, although their fruit temperature was significantly lower on hot days. The Sunbiosis project will continue to explore the potential of growing other fruit crops under solar panels.
