If solar is to have the substantial presence, required acreage, and community acceptance to produce sufficient energy for a low-carbon future, we need to work with our fellow earthlings. Local birds, butterflies, beneficial insects, & other wildlife co-evolved with native plants and need them for continued sustenance. Cook Farm Solar produces enough electricity for ~500 Rhode Island homes, while growing pollinator-friendly species and utilizing sheep to manage vegetation within the fenced solar area. Plantings absorb stormwater, prevent erosion, store carbon, and lower temperatures, improving the performance of photovoltaics and the productivity of local farms. This proven solution maintains agriculture and provides a healthier ecosystem than mowed vegetation. With thoughtful planting and added ecological services, solar farms can become wonderlands full of vibrant life.
