À propos de ce contenu audio
Elliott Steele, a researcher at the UC Davis Wild Energy Center, is now studying how a floating solar array at the Nelson Family Vineyards in Mendocino County, Calif. affects birds. He's also studying how a 6-MW floating solar array–Califronia's largest– in Sonoma County is influencing wildlife. In Florida, he says, alligators and other animals hang out on the solar systems.
Wildlife can also affect the floating solar panels, by defecating on them, for example, and lowering the solar output.
This is a follow up to my last podcast episode about Nelson Family Vineyards' floating solar array.
