      True! But try my “laying down” test. Found some moss in a super shady area, couldn’t figure how enough light got through for even that. Laid down on a cloudy summer day, looked through the canopy, blinded.

      Our eyes have little to tell us about how many lumens are hitting the ground, to say nothing of UV and spectrum.

      tl;dr: Yes, a solid panel is going to block way more light than a tree canopy.
