Solar panels are killing my veggies with shade

I put up solar panels to help the planet. Now my tomato plants don't get enough sun. Is it bad to pick power over produce?

So much for saving the planet when your solar panels are straight up assassinating your cucumbers. That's the kind of irony that makes you just shake your head. Those panels might cut your power bill, but they totally blocked the sun your plants needed. It's a classic case of good intentions backfiring in the garden. Your veggies never had a chance against the shade from your clean energy setup. Maybe this is a sign to rethink the layout or stick to growing mushrooms next time.

Ever notice how solving one problem often just creates a different one? We trade sun for power and wonder why the garden suffers.
