What are the benefits of beekeeping on solar panels?

nd non-invasive plant species below the panels.Beekeeping at solar sites can enhance the value of the land by keeping it in agricultural production, providing new streams of income for local farmers, and adding such environmental benefits as water filtration, reduced erosion, and enhanced soil health due to the

What are some Seto-funded projects involving solar and pollinator habitats?

A bee gathers pollen from the flower of a Zinnia plant at a solar array. Another SETO-funded project is the AgriSolar Clearinghouse, which provides resources and technical assistance programs to farmers, solar companies, and other stakeholders interested in co-locating solar and pollinator habitats.

How can beekeeping improve crop productivity?

Beekeeping allows the improvement of crop productivity by increasing the degree of pollination. This pioneering project in Spain will have a series of hives located in the apiary, in a protected habitat for pollinating insects.

What is agrivoltaica & how does it work?

The “agrivoltaica” is a circular economy initiative which generates shared value with the community allowing it to recover land used in the construction of solar plants for agricultural use, which promotes the sustainable development of these local communities. See more.

What is a agrivoltaic research for megawatt scale?

In May, SETO announced the Foundational Agrivoltaic Research for Megawatt Scale (FARMS) funding opportunity, which will fund projects that study how to scale up agrivoltaics, including pollinator habitat, and maximize the combined value to solar energy, pollinators, and agriculture.
