Project Outcomes
This project will provide empirical research findings which will be incorporated into a integrated decision model to inform Solar PV management decisions by industry and other stakeholders. This work will generate new scientific knowledge on the risks, impacts, and benefits of solar PV on avian and invertebrate species, and will identify links between PV siting, design, and management on these effects.
