Well-planned solar parks provide added value for biodiversity, according to a field study commissioned by the German Association for the New Energy Economy (BNE). The study found that ground-mounted PV systems on structurally poor agricultural land create „a mosaic of new, obviously suitable habitats for many species,“ including a rich food supply, says environmental expert Tim Peschel, who carried out the study with his office „Peschel Ökologie und Umwelt“ together with planner Rolf Peschel (no relation).
