Well-planned and well-designed solar parks can increase biodiversity. Incorporating stepping-stone habitats such as clusters of trees and shrubs, ponds and stone piles, as well as openings in fences for small mammals such as hedgehogs and brown hares, can promote biodiversity.Large-scale installations should also include corridors for large mammals such as wolves and red deer.
Solar parks offer an opportunity to enhance areas with low species diversity while generating clean energy.
