Do photovoltaic facilities benefit from land use?

Land use of photovoltaic (PV) facilities has always been a pressing research field, as the transition to renewable energy requires balancing between land productivity and energy generation. A comprehensive assessment of PV land use benefits is crucial for informed deployment decisions.

How is land used for PV projects?

Land for PV is primarily acquired through lease agreements with relevant stakeholders, ensuring protection against the use of arable land. Forest lands utilized for PV projects prioritize areas with limited annual precipitation or shrub coverage, while grasslands focus on compatibility between solar projects and local ecology.

Which type of land is suitable for solar PV installation?

These special types of land, often with harsh natural environment, low land utilization rate and abundant solar radiation, are more suitable for large area installation of PV facilities, with green energy to drive innovative applications and land transformation, to achieve simultaneous development of economic and ecological benefits.

Does land use for solar energy compete with other land uses?

Based on the spatially defined LUE of solar energy, as well as the identified potential for solar energy in urban areas, deserts and dry scrublands, land use for solar energy competes with other land uses through the inherent relative profitability of each land use.

Is solar energy a good option for land use?

However, recent studies based on satellite views of utility-scale solar energy (USSE) under operation, either in the form of photovoltaics (PV) or concentrated solar power (CSP), show that their land use efficiency (LUE) is up to six times lower than initial estimates 17, 18, 19.

What are the benefits of PV land?

The electricity benefits of PV land Overall, the power generation efficiency of PV power stations is very high, with an annual electricity value of 1.90×10 5 ∼5.09×10 5 CNY/hm 2, which is also a reflection of the value of all types of PV projects themselves (Fig. 5).
