6 FAQs about [Solar Photovoltaic Transformation of Desert]

How many MWh does Desert photovoltaic power use in 2021?

The global primary energy consumption is 1.76 × 10 11 MWh in 2021 (26), which also means that based on the current energy demand, the volume of desert photovoltaic power is able to supply the world with energy. The power supply of deserts in the Middle East, East Asia, Australia, and North America is ranked in sequence.

Can desert photovoltaic power replace coal-fired power?

In the future carbon-neutral scenario, photovoltaic power from deserts is one of the optimal choices to completely replace coal-fired power (12). Large desert photovoltaic power stations have been successfully and repeatedly practiced in the world.

What is the future of photovoltaic industry in desert and Gobi?

China has a vast area of desert and Gobi, and there are broad prospects for the development of desert and Gobi photovoltaic industry. The photovoltaic industry in desert and Gobi is expected to become the third new way of sand prevention and control after afforestation and desertification control and sand fixation by sand barriers.

Why do desert areas need a photovoltaic system?

Desert areas benefit from high irradiation levels , and the photovoltaics power potential in these areas exceeds 2100 kWh/kWp . This means only a small area of desert covered by PV modules can potentially cover today's world's need for electricity , and this drives the major installation market to these areas .

Can solar power control desertification in China?

In recent years, the Chinese government has carried out a series of Photovoltaic Desert Control Projects, aiming to combine the efforts to develop the solar PV sector with measures to control desertification (CGTN, 2017; The state council of the P.R.C., 2019; Cui et al., 2017).

How can solar energy help combat desertification?

Compared to 2010, the greening area reached 30.80 km 2 after PV projects. Opportunity to combat desertification and improve people's welfare in desert areas. Solar energy is considered one of the key solutions to the growing demand for energy and to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
