PV sheep
"The panels act as windbreaks to reduce dust and sand and slow soil evaporation, giving vegetation a foothold.
Wang Anwei, the energy administration chief of Hainan Prefecture, called it a “win-win” situation on multiple levels.
“In terms of production, enterprises generate electricity on the top level, and in terms of ecology, grass grows at the bottom under the solar panels, and villagers can herd sheep in between,” he said."

Vitivoltaics ""VitiVoltaic" projects aim to make viticulture fit for climate change. The term is a portmanteau of the Latin genus name for the grapevine, vitis vinifera, and the word for solar power generation, photovoltaics. This new technology makes it possible to harvest two very different things on two levels: Electricity above and wine grapes below. Pilot projects are underway to test which technology works where — and at what price." https://www.dw.com/en/solar-energy-protects-german-vineyards-from-climate-change/a-74849301
