But there is no such thing as a free lunch, although the grass will transpire less water in a solar farm, it also doesn't grow as fast.

- bigbillheck 3y agoThere's a lot of things that go into plant yield, and it's not just as simple as "less sunlight, less grass".
- angiosperm 3y agoMost plants can use only a few hours of direct sunlight before they run out of stuff to photosynthesize out of. They endure the rest of the day trying not to get dehydrated, and spend the night stockpiling raw materials to process next day. Cereal crops are bred to be able to use more sun than most plants; most chase other goals than the big seeds we select for.
