Technical FAQs 4

Can PV power stations be deployed in desert areas?

The deployment sites of PV power stations in desert areas can be divided into: vegetation-covered areas and non-vegetation-covered areas. Before the PV power stations deployment, the soils usually need to be graded, resulting in vegetation removal (Hernandez et al., 2014). Fig.

Can solar panels be used in deserts?

The expansive, sun-drenched deserts of the world present prime real estate for solar energy production. With their abundant sunshine and minimal cloud cover, these arid landscapes offer substantial potential for generating clean, renewable electricity through solar panel installations.

Which Desert has the largest area of PV power stations?

In 2018, MUS had the largest area of PV power stations (30.80 km 2, 30.0%), followed by TenD (29.50 km 2, 28.8%), UBD (11.33 km 2, 11.0%) and HobD (8.14 km 2, 8.0%). Compared with other deserts, these four deserts are located in the central part of north China, and the surrounding areas have a higher level of economic development.

Does PV power station deployment promote desert greening in China?

In general, the desert greening (with a significant increase in vegetation) in China from PV power station deployment is largely promoted by the policy-driven Photovoltaic Desert Control Projects. However, the human activities effects on vegetation are often superimposed on the long-term climate-driven variations.
