Methods and systems for cost-effective precision solar farming with mobile photonic harvesters are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes automatically determining, for each of multiple solar photovoltaic modules within a system, the angle of captured solar radiation with respect to the surface of the solar photovoltaic module, wherein the system comprises (i) the multiple solar photovoltaic modules and (ii) multiple moveable reflective surfaces used in conjunction with at least some of the multiple solar photovoltaic modules; automatically detaching one or more of the reflective surfaces from one or more respective first positions within the system based on the determined angles of captured solar radiation; and automatically attaching the one or more detached reflective surfaces to one or more respective second positions within the system based on the determined angles of captured solar radiation, such that the amount of solar radiation captured by the solar photovoltaic module is increased.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
