Photovoltaic panels to grow alfalfa

Is it suitable to grow alfalfa under photovoltaic panels

It uses the shaded space underneath solar panels to grow crops. This increases land-use efficiency, as it lets solar farms and agriculture share ground, rather than making them compete against one another.

Farming under solar panels?

A farmer harvests alfalfa beneath a row of solar panels in a dual-use field. The agrivoltaics system allows for both crop production and renewable energy generation.
