This study reveals that the development of solar energy is beneficial for the environment

Liputan6.com, Jakarta – Silflower is one of the native plants that blanket the vast prairies of North America. Currently it is mostly confined to roadsides and ditches. Thanks to energy Sun This flower is ready to return.

Reported AP, Friday (5/11/21), researchers planted flowers Silflower in nine installations surya in the Minneapolis area, testing its potential as an oilseed crop. Rooted perennials also offer fodder and are indispensable for the habitat of bees, butterflies and hummingbirds.

“The solar industry is interested in restoring pollinator habitat. This seems like a good partnership,” said plant scientist Ebony Murrell of The Land Institute.

Solar is a renewable energy source that can help the world reduce the use of fossil fuels that produce greenhouse gases.

As the industry grows, panel surya would be spread over millions of hectares, wasting farmland, critics say. However, proponents see an opportunity to diversify crop production and increase landowners’ incomes, while repairing the ecological damage to plowed or paved land.

“There’s a lot of space where solar can be integrated with really innovative land uses,” said Brendan O’Neill, a University of Michigan environmental scientist who monitors how plantings at the new 1,752-panel facility in Cadillac, Michigan, store carbon.

Elsewhere, solar installations house sheep which reduces the need for slaughter. And researchers are experimenting with plants growing under solar panels, while examining other potential benefits: preventing soil erosion, and conserving and cleaning water.
