Synanthropic vegetation occurs at sites of photovoltaic power plants, where vegetation
management is typically ignored, and can have adverse effects on photovoltaic panels as …

Renewable energy is growing at a rapid pace globally but as yet there has been little
research on the effects of ground‐mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) developments on bats …

Harnessing solar energy to renewably produce electricity can contribute to climate mitigation
while meeting current energy demands. However, utility-scale photovoltaics are land …

Agrivoltaic systems (a combination of agricultural crop production and photovoltaics (PV) on
the same land) have an increasing interest. Realizing this upcoming technology raises still …

Abstract Development of ground-mounted solar power plants (SPP) is no longer limited to
remote and low population density areas, but arrives in urban and rural landscapes where …

Renewable energy production is gaining momentum globally as a way to combat climate
change without drastically reducing human energy consumption. Solar energy offers the …

The co-location of photovoltaic energy generation and agricultural land use (Agrivoltaics,
AV) has become increasingly popular in recent years. Although the benefits of AV in …

Biodiversity and crop productivity are compromised by the ongoing worldwide decline of
pollinator insects primarily driven by the narrow specialization of modern agricultural …

As solar energy becomes an increasingly cheap source of renewable energy, major utility-
scale ground solar panel installations, often called 'solar farms', are rapidly growing. With …
