Integration has benefits for many crops in many regions. For example, many fruits and vegetables develop better under some shade. See this USDA blurb: > "Commercial farms growing high value fruits and vegetables use shade structures to create protected environments. These growers benefit from bigger yields, better quality produce, fewer pests, timed crop growth, and resource conservation. Unfortunately, shade structure use is limited for many small and medium size farms who lack economy of scale. Commercial shade structures available today are very expensive to purchase and install as well as difficult and time-consuming to move." Solar structures mean the farms generate revenue from the shade systems, although initial cost-of-installation is high.
