UNIVERSITY PARK, Pennsylvania, July 18 -- Pennsylvania State University issued the following news:
As the number of major utility-scale ground solar panel installations grows, concerns about their impacts on natural hydrologic processes also have grown. However, a new study by Penn State researchers suggests that excess runoff or increased erosion can be easily mitigated if these "solar farms" are properly built.
