The Winter Solstice is today, which means the shortest day of the year, but it doesn’t mean the sun isn’t shining. Clear skies and snow can brighten things up, and solar panels can still make use of the light even in the middle of winter.
Solar panel areas can be designed to be better for bird diversity than cropland: Ecovoltaic solar energy development can promote grassland bird communities besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... #solarpanels #birds #energy #greenenergy #jernmarker
Saskatoon is lowering the compensation rate for SL&P customers who send solar power back to the grid. It doesn’t stop solar, but it makes new community energy projects harder to build and slows momentum when we need it most. Link below for the full story.
