The future will be greenhouses made of transparent solar panels! The panels will power machines that extract water from the air. I don't know why but this thought is accompanied by the laverne and Shirley theme song in my head.

The more solar energy that goes to electricity generation, the less there is for the plants under them, and vice-versa.
Unless we could develop tuned solar panels that only use wavelengths the plants don't use - in the green range - and transmit the rest to the plants underneath them.
