Researchers work to restore native grasses on solar farms
Original: Research powers up to help native grasses take root on solar farms
University of Alberta researchers are developing methods to help native grasses establish themselves on solar farm sites, pairing renewable energy infrastructure with native plant restoration. The work aims to make solar projects more environmentally beneficial by supporting groundcover beneath and around panels. It highlights growing interest in combining clean energy development with land stewardship.
Why now: Interest is rising in making solar farms dual-purpose, generating both energy and ecological benefits.
