New research from Colorado State University and Cornell University shows that the presence of solar panels in Colorado's grasslands may reduce water stress, improve soil moisture levels and - particularly during dry years - increase plant growth by about 20% or more compared to open fields. The findings were published in Environmental Research Letters this week. The paper outlines the pote
