Not all crops need 100% sun exposure in 100% of their growing regions.
Many crops do better with a little bit of well placed shading to help keep temperatures/sun damage down.
The way these panels are oriented they may also reduce wind flow over the crops which can improve water retention (but may lead to other problems if crops are over-irrigated).
Mathematically it’s entirely possible to have better crop yield than a vast expanse of monocrops devoid of shelter.

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

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]
