Ecosystem Services of Habitat-Friendly Solar Energy
Both projects are funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) and include a focus on the ecological and economic implications of solar-pollinator habitat.
Principles of Low-Impact Solar Siting and Design
The primary purpose of these Principles is to inform and potentially guide solar energy developers, operators, and other stakeholders to site, construct, and operate solar facilities in
The 5 Cs of Agrivoltaic Success Factors in the United States
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has supported agrivoltaics research since through its Innovative Solar Practices Integrated with Rural Economies and Ecosystems (InSPIRE)
Incorporating Ecosystem Services into Solar
This study provides a holistic assessment of incorporating ecosystem services in future solar energy development decision-making and presents an approach for minimizing trade-offs and maximizing
Community Solar Project Siting
This paper proposes a siting framework for community solar projects, which can produce much needed zero-carbon electricity, while serving important ecosystem enhancement and
If you build it, they will come: How habitat-friendly
Argonne scientists studied whether renewable energy can support insect conservation by examining habitats established at solar energy facilities. After planting the sites with native grasses and
Large-Scale Solar Siting Resources | Department
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) conducts research to reduce the cost and impact of siting solar. We’ve answered some common questions about large-scale solar siting
Ecovoltaic principles for a more sustainable, ecologically informed
We argue that co-prioritizing ecosystem services and energy generation using an ecologically informed, ‘ecovoltaics’ approach to solar array design and operation will have
Wildlife-Friendly Solar Energy | U.S. Fish & Wildlife
To explore options for minimizing these impacts, Valley Electric Association (VEA) and US Fish and Wildlife Service worked together to construct a wildlife-friendly solar power generation facility in the Mojave Desert near
The Emerging Ecosystem of Residential Solar in the United
This research is relevant to the solar PV ecosystem in the US, and it focuses on actors broadly referred to as “solar installers.” I study the effect they have on the ecosystem in terms of
