6 FAQs about [Land use for photovoltaic energy storage]

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.

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.

How much land does a single solar PV system need?

A single solar PV system would require only 0.26% of EU land to meet today's total electricity demand. The Land-Use and Permitting workstream aims to promote a swift and efficient deployment of inclusive and integrated utility-scale solar PV within a fully renewable energy system, compatible with ecosystem restoration, nature conservation and agriculture.

How much land area does a photovoltaic need?

We find that conventional photovoltaic will require 0.5 to 1.2% of global land area to meet projected energy demands by 2085 without accounting for climate change effects. When considering climate impacts, this requirement increases to 0.7–1.5% of the global land area.

What land uses can be used for solar energy?

Other land uses with the potential for multifunctional PV deployment include highways, car parks and irrigation canals with PV panel shading 16, and urban roof-tops 17. In combination with technology improvements, these could substantially reduce land requirements for PV energy.

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.
