        Security of the panels would be a major issue, I agree. But isn't food above ground in a greenhouse just as vulnerable? Is it possible to camouflage or even position the panels out of reach up high? I'm imagining a type of situation where bunker living would be the norm. Hiding would be essential. I have to believe that there are some people who are planning on growing veggies/fruits underground in their bunkers.

        I appreciate everyone's input.. Thank you!
        Solar panels need clear unobstructed view of the horizon to the east, south, and west.
