Scientists taught cameras to watch birds around solar panels; after 19,000 hours of footage, they discovered how the birds were actually using them

Researchers are examining how birds interact with solar panel systems, utilizing AI-enhanced cameras to capture extensive footage of avian behavior. Observations indicate that birds engage in various activities, such as perching, nesting, and foraging within these solar arrays. Notably, the study found no instances of bird collisions with the installations, contributing valuable insights into wildlife adaptation amidst the growth of solar energy.
