Researchers assessing the impact of solar energy development across Europe have come up with ten ways in which the expansion of solar can be shaped to ensure pollinators benefit.Space-hungry solar photovoltaic (PV) is set to dominate future global electricity supply, but with careful decision making, efforts to secure clean energy need not come at the expense of biodiversity particularly pollinators which are in sharp decline. Bees, hoverflies, wasps, beetles, butterflies, and moths play a key role in food production, with around 75% of the leading global food crops and 35% of global crop production relying on them to some extent
