Studies map microclimates beneath solar panels to help native vegetation thrive in the shadow of renewable energy

Solar farms can generate massive amounts of renewable energy, but when they're built in natural areas, they change the growing conditions underneath the panels. That can make it easy for native grasses to be squeezed out by invasive weeds and non-native plants.
