    I thought it would be the opposite. As you move north, the crops get more sun because the sun is farther to the south whereas closer to the equator it’s mostly due east to due west so the crops would get shaded more by the panels. But my handle on geometry is poor.

      one vertical, east-west-facing system

      Oh, the panels are running in lines N-S, and they’ve got a 2-sided arrangement that faces east and west. Yeah I didn’t quite get the geometry either.
