4 FAQs about Desert Solar PV Power Generation Locations

Can solar power plants be used in deserts?

Desert areas offer rich solar resources and low land use costs, ideal for large-scale new energy development. However, desert ecosystems are fragile, and large-scale photovoltaic (PV) power facilities pose ecological risks. Current assessments of PV plant sites in deserts lack consideration of wind-sand hazards and ecological impacts.

Can solar power be generated in desert regions in China?

Based on an analysis of solar radiation levels at the ideal PV inclination angle, the size of each suitability zone, and the efficiency of light energy conversion, the PV power generation potential of desert regions in China has been assessed (Fig. 5).

Can large-scale PV power plants be built in China's deserts?

The results show that the potential for large-scale PV power plants in China's deserts is significant, with 69.4 % of the region assessed as medium or higher.

How many solar panels are there in the desert?

Spanning approximately 1,200 km2 within the vast 36,700 km2 desert area, this project covers 3% of the desert with solar panels. With a capacity of 1,547 megawatts (MW) and featuring around 3.5 million solar modules, it is developed and operated by the State Grid Corporation of China and Zhongwei Power Supply Co.
