Planning and Managing Permanent Vegetation Under Solar Arrays
Existing Site ConditionsPre-Construction ActionsPlant Species SelectionPost-Construction ConsiderationsTo date, the most common plans for vegetation management under solar arrays are mechanical control (mowing), grazing sheep, and pollinator habitat, or a combination of these three. In almost every scenario a mixture of different plant species will provide more desirable outcomes than a monoculture. Mixtures provide diversity in growth habits with a...See more on blogs rnell CED Engineering
