About 2021 Proceedings
It’s estimated that solar power will grow up to five-fold in the next decade. Solar developers and others working to advance renewable energy recognize that along with successful commercialization, sustainable development requires investment into understanding and minimizing risk from the interactions between solar energy facilities, wildlife, and natural resources.
The biennial Solar Symposium convenes stakeholders from academia, industry, the conservation sector, and public agencies to review the state of the science and identify research gaps and priority questions.
Meeting Topics
The Symposium identifies key concepts around balancing conservation and a rapidly growing solar market, and highlight what we know and emerging topics/questions related to:
- Evaluating and Mitigating Impacts on Wildlife and Their Habitats
- Land Management and Wildlife Compatibility
- Water Resource Management
- Solar Life-Cycle and Natural Resource Considerations
