With 3D printing and modular process design.
Interesting point: agrivoltaics can provide enough energy to power LEDs for whatever grows under the surface area of the PV panel. Such as blueberries.
We explored climate control of grow space. Interestingly - over the life of PV panels - we can compete with bird netting and shade cloth - which needs replacement every 7 years. So the idea of PV as shade cloth replacement is not absurd at all - but one would have to capitalize 30 years of service up front.
Blueberries require about 200W of LED power per square meter of grow area. A PV panel nominally produces 180W per square meter of area. chatgpt.com/share/6902e26f-fb98-8010-a2aa-a7b4a7f76824
