Photovoltaic power station construction new third board

How does PV power station construction affect vegetation recovery?

The area of wind and sand control reaches 40 million m 2, which is equivalent to planting 640,000 trees . In addition, studies have proved that PV power station construction may reduce the evaporation of the ground and therefore have a positive effect on vegetation recovery.

Do solar photovoltaic power stations affect terrestrial ecosystems?

Front. Ecol. Evol., 21 March 2023 The rapid increase in construction of solar photovoltaic power stations (SPPs) has motivated ecologists to understand how these stations affect terrestrial ecosystems. Comparing study sites, effects are often not consistent, and a more systematic assessment of this topic remains lacking.

Is China's PV power station construction ranked first in the world?

China’s PV power station construction has ranked first in the world for many years. The new and cumulatively installed PV capacity of China will account for more than one-third of the total installed global wind power PV capacity by 2022 .

How to identify the construction time of PV power stations?

Following that, we identified the construction time of the PV power stations by identifying the turning points of the normalized construction land index (NDBI) time series from 1990–2022 using the LandTrendr method.

Should new buildings integrate PV systems in future urban planning?

For future urban planning, new buildings can be designed to integrate PV systems in their structure to maximise the installation space.

Should PV power stations be monitored?

The monitoring of PV power stations would be meaningful for both researchers and government officials. As mentioned above, the last decade has witnessed the widespread of PV power stations in China, where much previous gobi, grassland, water bodies and mountain land have now been covered by newly-built PV power stations (Fig. 1).
