Benefits of laying photovoltaic panels in the desert

6 FAQs about [Benefits of laying photovoltaic panels in the desert]

Can solar power help combat desertification?

Opportunity to combat desertification and improve people’s welfare in arid areas. Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and the vegetation under them consist of a combined system that could provide not only clean electrical power but also an effective preventive measure against wind erosion in sandy ecosystems.

Does a PV power plant in the desert have a heating effect?

The PV power plant in the desert has a heating effect on the ambient temperature during the day, but the ambient temperature is not a distinct change at night (Broadbent et al., 2019). The characteristic of heating effect is not only presented daily change.

Do solar panels affect the environment in desert areas?

Large-scale PV construction in desert areas can alter the local microclimate and soil conditions, thereby affecting the growth of vegetation. However, few studies have focused on the effects of PV panels on the environment of desert areas.

Do PV panels affect air temperature in deserts and lakes?

In brief, there are no obvious effects of the deployment of PV arrays on air temperature at various heights in deserts and lakes. However, the physical properties of deserts and lakes are different, so how does the temperature of the PV panels change. Fig. 4.

Can PV power stations reduce desertification in arid areas?

To bridge the research gap, a study was carried out to calculate and evaluate the PV power stations value in arid areas in order to put forward a new method to combat desertification by building PV power stations and to provide a theoretical basis and new ideas for future global environmental policy and PV power station planning.

Are solar panels used in desert areas worldwide?

We assume that solar panels are laid in desert areas worldwide with 20% land utilization and 15% photovoltaic conversion efficiency (14) and calculate the annual power generation under different cleaning frequencies for each desert solar farm.
