Researchers zero in on floating solar technology that could transform US power grid: 'We're trying to look at it holistically'

Ornithologists aren't often among the experts asked to weigh in on solar development projects. However, their insight could prove vital for future floating panel installations on inland waters.  As a result, a Cornell University team is examining endangered populations and even bird poop spread.  The research, published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, has so far suggested that floating solar panels can be installed in ways tha…
