#Agrivoltaics, the dual use of land for agriculture and solar, should include "ecovoltaics": the integration of solar projects with activities that provide agricultural ecosystem benefits like native plant species, pollinator-friendly species, habitat for beneficial insects, birds, & other animals.
Examining the definition of agrivoltaics
An expansive definition of agricultural dual-use must not exclude ecosystem benefits.

☀️🌱 An interesting look at how agrivoltaics and ecovoltaics are combining solar energy with farming and habitat restoration.

By pairing renewable energy generation with food production and biodiversity benefits, these approaches show how land can deliver multiple benefits at the same time.

Ecovoltaics: “prairie restoration activities can occur underneath solar panels…pollinators were observed using the site as much as dedicated conservation land…native habitats were recorded to decrease PV module temperatures, this was not found to increase electricity production’
New research finds utility-scale solar parks foster biodiversity
A series of longitudinal studies of three solar-pollinator sites in Minnesota have demonstrated evidence of native prairie growing under solar panels, providing both soil benefits and habitat for wild...

And! The study isn't just looking at photovoltaics: it explicitly considers agrivoltaics and ecovoltaics! (See diagram)

We can generate electricity *and* grow food or restore ecosystems and biodiversity, with the same land!
