6 FAQs about [Making solar power in the wild]
How does solar energy interact with wildlife and the environment?
As a renewable source of power, solar energy has an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change, which is critical to protecting humans, wildlife, and ecosystems.
Is solar energy a 'wild energy'?
Joined by researchers from 11 other organizations, the study authors set out “ a framework for understanding more completely, and ultimately quantifying, the benefits of solar energy ” that they’ve dubbed Wild Energy.
Are solar panels good for wildlife?
The good news for wildlife is that there are ways for solar developers to make installations less harmful and even beneficial for many species, like fences that let some animals pass, wildlife corridors, native plants that nurture pollinators, and more.
Can solar power create a wild-energy future?
“The first step in creating a wild-energy future is understanding the true value of solar,” said research project organizer and lead report author, Rebecca R. Hernandez, an assistant professor at UC Davis’ John Muir Institute of the Environment.
Can solar energy produce electricity?
Using solar energy to produce electricity is not a new concept and dates back to 1839 when Becquerel first discovered the photovoltaic effect . Today, numerous technologies exist and allow us to benefit from the quasi-limitless pool of energy coming from the sun .
Should solar power be reimagined as a habitat for native plants?
So does the nature of the landscape itself. Some solar operators are reimagining their facilities as prime protected habitats for native plants, bringing back key local species and potentially improving lands that humans have already disturbed.
