Spread the word far and wide!
Those pollinators are good for the adjacent farms.
Also: If you choose to grow crops under the solar, their yield can be higher than without the solar, with less water.
(And the plants cool the solar so you get more yield out of those too, compared to erecting them on an unused parking lot or something).
Having plants under solar is a win all around.
Solar Farms Are Having An Unexpected Effect On The Environment
"Researchers with the Argonne National Laboratory and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (via IOPScience) [...] found that retired agricultural land can produce power while native plants thrive under and around the panels. They quickly saw an increase in the abundance and diversity of native plants and insects, especially pollinators. It's already known that solar panels are having a surprising effect on local wildlife."
