It entails not only considering the resources themselves but also their integration with the existing road and power grid to align with the renewable energy portfolio standards set by different state and national energy departments [13].Unreasonable early
Agrivoltaics enables dual use of land for both agriculture and PV power generation considerably increasing land-use efficiency, allowing for an expansion of PV capacity on agricultural land while maintaining farming activities. In recent years, agrivoltaics has experienced a dynamic development mainly driven by Japan, China, France, and Germany.
China has abundant solar energy resources, with significant development potential. The region with annual solar irradiance greater than 5 × 10 3 MJ/m 2 covers approximately 2/3 of the total area in China [9].PV is a significant form of solar energy utilization [10].However, PV power is influenced by weather and geographic factors, resulting in strong
A decrease in the cost of PV makes solar electricity competitive [] the countryside, marginal land is especially promising for solar electricity generation
To accomplish a completely sustainable environment and meet the United Nations'' sustainable development goal, power generation from solar photovoltaics (PV) is indispensable. Nevertheless, because of the low power conversion, land-based PV (LPV) plant needs a substantial amount of land, which is an intricate issue.
Li et al. (2020) calculated solar PV power generation globally by applying the PVLIB-Python solar PV system model, with the Clouds and the Earth''s Radiant Energy System (CERES) radiation product and meteorological variables from a reanalysis product as inputs, and investigated the effects of aerosols and panel soiling on the efficiency of solar PV power
The global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) power plants, especially in ecologically fragile regions like the Gobi Desert, highlights the suitability of such areas for large
To achieve the goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, Xinjiang, as an autonomous region in China with large energy reserves, should adjust its energy
Although our results suggest little or no significant climate change impact on the solar resource, some uncertainties remain. However, it is possible to conclude that land-use changes will have a significant impact on suitable sites for PV power generation, as suitable land is expected to increase in both development scenarios. The allocation
Here, we propose a multidimensional land use analysis framework, focusing on power generation, production, ecology, and their co-benefits, aiming to assess the impact of
With our dataset of installation geometries we are able to generate insight into global land-cover patterns of PV solar energy sites. Land use for renewable energy is an urgent area of study, as
Dual use of the land for wind and photovoltaic energies may save land area and will result in matching the utility load better than with wind or solar alone. Shading by wind turbines on photovoltaic panels may affect the output power. The amount of shading and its pattern are of interest for deployment of the photovoltaic panels in the wind
Solar power, also known as solar electricity, is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV) or indirectly using concentrated solar
As the purpose of the present article is to analyze the ground shading area and the shadow pattern of wind turbines in a dual use of land for wind and photovoltaic energies, two latitudes are chosen for the analysis: ϕ = 32° and ϕ = 50°. The relative shadow length F / H may be calculated, based on Eqs. (3), (4), for each hour during the day, or by using Ref. [15].
The rapid expansion of photovoltaic (PV) power stations in recent years has been primarily driven by international renewable energy policies. Projections indicate that global PV installations have covered an area of 92000 km 2, equivalent to the entire land area of Portugal (Zhang et al., 2023b, Zhang et al., 2023c).Based on current growth rates, China''s

As the world''s largest carbon emitter, China has pledged to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. An essential pathway to the carbon neutrality goal is to promote the replacement of coal-fired power generation with low or zero-carbon energy sources [1], [2].Solar power, especially solar photovoltaic (PV), will be one of the main energy sources in the future
