6 FAQs about [Principle of Ecological Restoration of Photovoltaic Panels]

Does a PV plant have a potential for ecological restoration?

While this growth rate is limited, the maximum fractional growing season vegetation coverage increased from 33.6% to 57.9% during the same period (Figure 6), with the highest value observed in a PV plant adopting the M4 mode, indicating the substantial potential for ecological restoration in PV plants.

Are solar panels effective in restoring plant species retusum?

Seed material transfer material was the most effective restoration technique. Solar panels hampered plant succession towards the reference state. Solar panels reduced plant species richness in all treatments. Stress and mortality of the target species B. retusum increased under solar panels.

Do solar photovoltaic panels promote vegetation recovery?

Liu Y, Zhang R, Huang Z, Cheng Z, López-Vicente M, Ma X, et al. Solar photovoltaic panels significantly promote vegetation recovery by modifying the soil surface microhabitats in an arid sandy ecosystem. Land Degrad Dev. 2019;30:2177–86. Lovich JE, Ennen JR. Wildlife Conservation and Solar Energy Development in the Desert Southwest.

How do PV panels affect ecological processes?

In particular, variability in light and the redistribution of precipitation shed from PV panels can strongly influence ecological processes below. For example, PV arrays have been shown to alter patterns of grassland plant productivity 8, 9, phenology 10 and nutrient content of the plants beneath arrays 11.

Do solar parks need ecological restoration?

While the number of solar parks is constantly increasing, ecological restoration is necessary to mitigate the ecological impact of solar parks or even restore biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (Hernandez et al., 2019).

Do solar panels and restoration treatments affect plant communities?

Effects of solar panels and restoration treatments on plant communities were evaluated by non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) with 9999 permutations based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarity. Due to dominance of Brachypodium retusum in sowing treatments a second NMDS excluding the species was run.
