   This depends on the area and climate.  But there are places where this   
   is true.   
      
   There are even shade-loving crops that can be planted under the solar   
   panels, but planting and harvesting is more difficult and has to be   
   done by hand.  Not a problem for coffee, if you are fortunate to live   
   in a place where coffee can grow.
