Mapping Sustainable Ground Mount Solar Planting - Team 2

Company: AEDG (Alternative Energy Development Group)

Major(s):
Primary: EGEE
Secondary: IE
Optional: ME

Non-Disclosure Agreement: NO

Intellectual Property: NO

As the number of ground mount solar installations grows, solar owners and operators seek to set themselves apart from the competition. By developing a nationwide map of native, low growth species which can be planted in order to reduce landscaping costs and potentially improve the ROI of solar installations, this team will garner real world experience while working with a solar developer who is committed to better understanding all aspects of the renewable energy industry.
