Abstract [sv]

Markbaserade solcellsanläggningar blir allt vanligare, vilket riskerar att påverka biologisk mångfald, livsmedelsproduktion och andra ekosystemtjänster. Forsknings- och utvecklingsprojekt har gjorts internationellt kring solcellsparkers samexistens med biologisk mångfald och även ekosystemtjänster. Författarna av denna studie känner inte till några rapporter som gjorts för biologisk mångfald, ekosystemtjänster eller agrofotovoltaics (kombinerad jordbruksproduktion med solel) i svenska eller nordiska solcellsparker. 

Praktisk erfarenhet med betesdjur för att hålla nere vegetation mellan solcellsraderna och som kan gynna biologisk mångfald finns i Sverige, men har inte utvärderats ännu.

Sammanfattningsvis riskerar solcellsparkernas markanspråk att bidra till den redan existerande pressen på skogs- och jordbruksarealer samt den biologiska mångfalden. Det finns samtidigt ett flertal möjliga lösningar för att skapa förutsättningar för biologisk mångfald och ekosystemtjänster i samband med storskaliga solcellsanläggningar. Med rätt förutsättningar och noggrann planering kan biologisk mångfald och ekosystemtjänster gynnas och stora miljövinster uppnås, samtidigt som förnybar el genereras och markägarens ekonomi förbättras.

Abstract [en]

Land based solar parks are becoming more common, which risks affecting biodiversity, food production and other ecosystem services. Research and development projects have been carried out internationally around the coexistence of solar parks and biodiversity as well as ecosystem services. The authors of this study are not aware of any reports made for biodiversity, ecosystem services or agrophotovoltaics (combined agricultural production with solar energy generation) in Swedish or Nordic solar parks. 

Practical experience with grazing animals to keep vegetation down between the rows of solar cells and which can benefit biological diversity have been made in Sweden but have not yet been evaluated. 

In summary, there is a risk that land based solar parks will result in increasing the already existing competition for land with agricultural and the biological diversity. There are several possible adaptations for creating beneficial conditions to biodiversity and ecosystem services in connection with large-scale photovoltaic systems. With careful planning, biodiversity and ecosystem services can benefit and major environmental benefits can be achieved, while simultaneously improving the landowner's finances.
