Colorado researchers grew the world's most expensive spice on rooftop solar panels; harvested twice the output and generated $60,000 in return while producing electricity
- There are no limits to what a well-planned project cannot achieve and researchers in Colorado have proven it right.
- They have managed to make a rooftop with solar panels produce electricity while also growing the world's most expensive spice and generating extra income.
- Colorado State University researchers report that saffron, grown beneath solar panels rated at 40% transparency, produced twice as many flowers and twice the dried spice yield as compared to unshaded rooftop plots.
