The California Energy Commission supports the Wild Energy Initiative through an Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) grant. They are funding our research on the effects of photovoltaic and concentrating solar power on soils, plants, and animals in the Mojave Desert. Our collaboration will result in direct benefits to desert flora and fauna as well as California ratepayers by conserving plants and animals at solar facilities and streamlining mitigation of negative ecological effects of solar power generation.
