Solar panels on rewetted peatland could be a climate and nature win–win

Researchers in Germany have found that solar panels on rewetted peatland provide a unique habitat for bird species along with generating green energy and potentially locking up carbon. Installing solar panels on rewetted peatlands is a new type of land use, providing a way to generate green energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Now, research from the University of Greifswald has found that this novel land use may also benefit nature. The findings are published in Ecological Solutions and Evidence.
