Energy generation + ecosystem services

We investigate placing large utility scale solar arrays in disturbed, over-utilized, and resource limited lands that might benefit from the dynamic environmental conditions within photovoltaic arrays.

We explore integrating new technologies that reduce emissions and help avoid disturbances to soil and vegetation caused by the harmful construction practices.

We study mitigation to stressful environmental conditions that are expected to increase in severity over the coming decades (extreme temperatures, drought, high atmospheric demand for water).
