In some conditions having solar panels on the field actually increases the yield of certain crops.
Yesss, especially in arid regions, argovoltaics is very promising ^‿^ The problem is often more political, most energy is needed where most people live, that is, in regions with good conditions for agriculture. As is also written in Wikipedia, agrovoltaics could be good for some plants even there, but reclaiming desertified land with agrovoltaics sounds much more exciting.
Agrovoltaics is a wildly interesting topic, and if you have the opportunity, I strongly recommend reading up on it. It's almost enough to make things kind of hopeful, a bit.
