UC Davis Research on Floating Solar Featured in Grist

Solar panel arrays for renewable energy generation at UC Davis Energy Efficiency Institute.

Wild Energy Center researchers were in the spotlight in a recent Grist feature exploring the ecological impacts of floating solar. Director Rebecca Hernandez and graduate researcher Amanda Bujosa share why understanding how floating solar affects aquatic ecosystems is essential as the technology scales. Their work is helping define a critical research agenda at the intersection of clean energy and environmental stewardship.
