Most plants can only process a strictly limited amount of sunlight, and just endure the rest. Partial shade relieves heat stress. Peppers, in particular, yield 3x in partial shade, vs. full sun. Even those like wheat and maize bred and adapted for full sun do fine with partial shade, with only slightly reduced yield. But there is more than enough pasture to site all the solar we need to power the world, while simultaneously protecting the livestock from weather extremes.
