It seems like it would only work out for shade loving crops in areas where net metering is an option.

Have the panels mostly cover the crops in the day time (improve yields) and export to the grid (reduce or eliminate electricity costs), then turn on LEDs for some portion of the night (improve yields) and import enough to offset your exports (use any excess you have from the day time).

In those situations, the additional cost could be zero or even a net benefit with some increase in crop yield.

Yes but it's sealed between panes of glass:

Fastrac gas stations have been doing it too, apparently they're telling the employees they'll close the store if they don't get enough numbers.

That's way the non-smart walk-in coolers work; every 12 hours they turn off the fans and heat the cooling element for about 15 minutes to melt any ice that's built up on it.

Ice anywhere else is treated as a separate problem and turning the cooler off to fix it is not typically an available option.

There's a non-zero chance the "floor" is just plywood laid across some of the beams and the holes are from people missing the beam in areas there's no plywood

True.

Thanks!
