6 FAQs about [The area occupied by solar energy products]

What drives land use decisions in solar energy?

Nevertheless, an important driver for land use decisions in the model is land profitability: even if land covered by crop cultivation is perceived as the most suitable by investors in solar energy, high observed or potential profitability of crop cultivation on such land could force investors to focus on other land types.

How much land does solar energy occupy?

A novel method is developed within an integrated assessment model which links socioeconomic, energy, land and climate systems. At 25–80% penetration in the electricity mix of those regions by 2050, we find that solar energy may occupy 0.5–5% of total land.

How does land use affect solar energy use in urban areas?

Solar energy in urban areas, Figure3. Land use change emissions related to land occupation per kWh of solar energy from 2020 to 2050, for electricity (independent of location). Uncertain ty bounds reect solar module eciency scenarios (reaching average eciencies of 20, 24 and 28% fo r modules installed in 2050; see Sec tion2c in SM).

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.

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 will be used for solar power in 2050?

In the three regions, a large part of the total built-up area (urban and solar land) will consist of solar PV panels or CSP heliostats by 2050 if at least half of the produced electricity comes from solar power. Land for solar would amount to over 50% of the current EU urban land, over 85% for India, and over 75% in Japan and South-Korea.
