Helping Birds and Floating Solar Energy Coexist
A new study from the UC Davis Wild Energy Center explores how floating solar energy systems—known as “floatovoltaics”—can coexist with waterbirds that rely on the same aquatic habitats. As these renewable energy installations expand across reservoirs, irrigation ponds, and wastewater facilities, researchers are investigating their potential impacts on bird species that nest, forage, and rest in these environments.
