Abstract
This study compares strawberry agrivoltaics using two different types of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules: uniform illumination provided from semi-transparent thin-film cadmium telluride (Cd-Te) and non-uniform illumination from semitransparent crystalline silicon (c-Si) which include rows of solar cells and the remainder transparent solar-grade glass. Strawberry plants were grown outdoors in Ilderton, ON under CdTe modules with 40 % and 70 % transparency (red, blue, and green), and c-Si modules with 44 % and 69 % transparency. Plant metrics such as fresh weight, height, leaf count, and chlorophyll content were measured, alongside soil temperature and humidity. Statistical analysis examined interactions between plant growth parameters. Overall, non-uniform illumination from c-Si PV modules significantly increased fresh weight by 18 % compared to controls, while lowering soil temperatures and increasing humidity. Converting Canada's strawberry farmland to agrivoltaics could increase fruit revenue by CAD $27 million and generate over CAD $150 million in electricity value. Total revenues could more than double or triple, depending on the c-Si module density. Additionally, applying electricity savings to reduce fruit prices could lower strawberry costs from CAD $6.51/kg to CAD $4.82/kg, a reduction of over 25 %. Agrivoltaics offers the potential for energy self-sufficiency and substantial additional revenue for strawberry farmers, leading to reduced food prices.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
