A single row of widely spaced panels is not shading much.
I can't think of a single crop that would benefit from shading in the UK

apparently tea plants like to be shaded

Some camellias do better in light shade, but apparently not Camellia

You are trying to capture ALL the sunlight in your precious land area,
leaving none for crops.


Which is why the best place for them is on roofs.
