Honestly this is probably a better use of the land than growing lettuce in a freaking desert. The water situation in California isn’t getting better

I wonder if you could gather water from the solar panels cooling at night and having moisture on them from condensation. If they had a hydrophobic coating, the water would always run to the bottom which could then be caught in a tube structure to carry the water into a cistern to water the plants that are growing in the non-panel covered areas of the farm.

What you really need is a droid who understands the binary language of moisture vaporators.
