Article mentions blueberries which I grow and those which get the sunshine only half of the day (partly in shade) don't have the same sweet taste as other in better sunny spots of my garden.
Where I live I need all the sun I can get as well. I have to start tomatoes in mid February and get them into the soil in June, and make sure they’re either in my greenhouse where it’s warm or in the most exposed spots in my garden. If I shaded anything my yields would be garbage.
Take those blueberries, Mine hate being in certain parts of the patio because whilst they get full sun, they also get longer and more extreme levels of heat. I almost lost them the year before last.
(this is with a decent irrigation system too)
That’s where agrivoltaics and irrigation can help.

Here is a map of DLI in the USA by month.

So there is some wiggle room maybe. Looks like about 30 is good DLI and the USA gets 40-60 in the summer.
My gut feeling though tells me that the best performance is panels that use all the light or plants that get full access to it.
No. Some plants love direct sunshine and others don't.
> However, certain crops are better suited for this system due to their ability to thrive under partial shade.
