I'll bite which specific crops do better in partial sun rather than full sun?

From: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agrivoltaics#Advantages

Increased crop yield has been shown for a number of crops:

Basil[46] Broccoli[47] Celery[48] Chiltepin peppers[49] Corn[50]/maize[51] Lettuce[52][53] Pasture grass[54] Potatoes[55] Spinach[46] Tomatoes[49] Wheat[56]

Sheep grazing around solar panels in Australia produce a higher volume of wool, at better quality.[38]
