Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that soil beneath solar panels stays cooler than soil in open fields during hot weather?

Unclear. A 2026 review synthesising 33 studies reports that soils beneath PV arrays tend to be cooler and more moisture-retentive due to shading, though it cautions the patterns are not universal and are context dependent. A single agrivoltaic dragon fruit study also reports moderated temperature beneath panels at one site.
