Cool season - as defined by sub-70 degree AMs - is shrinking in the Tampa Bay Area. We now have ~2 months less of AMs below 70F than we did decades ago! Due both to greenhouse warming and, in cities, urban heat island. That's today's Berardelli Bonus. Tks @climatecentral.org for the GFX help!

Growing food crops under solar panels is called Agrivoltaics. Lots of crops benefit from growing underneath them. I know in Maine they were piloting wild blueberries, and in Massachusetts cranberries. You can also graze animals like sheep or if you mount them high cows (not goats - they climb)
