Variation in estimates of the footprint of large, ground-mounted photovoltaic solar energy in the United States and its associated land-cover change across three datasets Open
Solar energy contributed more than six percent of the United States' (US) energy generation capacity in 2022, predominantly from large, ground-mounted photovoltaic solar facilities (GPVs). That proportion is expected to increase as GPV dev…

Practitioners’ perceptions of biodiversity-relevant criteria for solar suitability analyses in the United States Open
Global acceleration of large-scale (i.e., >1-megawatt capacity) solar energy deployment poses competition for land, including vital biodiversity conservation areas. Solar suitability analyses (SSAs) help preemptively identify low-conflict …

Quantifying and Valuing Fundamental Characteristics and Benefits of Floating PV Systems Open
This project undertook the first systematic and comprehensive collection of Floating Photovoltaic (FPV) related techno-ecological data across diverse geographic regions of the United States. It examined FPV performance, assessed potential …

Solar Energy-driven Land-cover Change Could Alter Landscapes Critical to Animal Movement in the Continental United States Open
The United States may produce as much as 45% of its electricity using solar energy technology by 2050, which could require more than 40,000 km2 of land to be converted to large-scale solar energy production facilities. Little is known abou…
