I know this isn't realistic, but go with it for a minute...
If you were able to move the solar panels inside the grow environment during lights on, and that time period was when it was dark outside, could you recapture some of the energy from the lights with the panels?
I don't believe so, because the sun is just ridiculously more intense than any bulb. Even if you put the panels directly under the grow lights - which means no room for plants - you'd probably get less than 1% of the power back..
But the question is legit!
