6 FAQs about [Golden silver grass under photovoltaic panels]

Do PV panels reduce plant productivity in grasslands?

A previous study in the UK found that PV arrays in grasslands reduced plant productivity by 25% in sheltered zones under the PV panels (referred to as ‘Under zones') compared to the ambient grassland; however, soil properties did not vary between the treatments (Armstrong et al., 2016).

Are PV arrays better than common grassland fencing?

PV arrays have better restoration effects than common grassland fencing. PV arrays increase soil C sequestration by 78.61% compared to previous measures. PV arrays can restore the degraded grassland and resolve land use conflicts. Photovoltaic (PV) facility installation occupying large land areas gradually expands into vast grasslands.

Can a PV array be used in degraded grasslands?

However, it is still being determined whether deploying PV arrays in degraded grasslands has better restoration effects than common grassland fencing, achieving a win-win for grassland restoration and resolving land use conflicts.

Are PV panels a win-win strategy for promoting grassland restoration?

Overall, the PV array zone superimposed the dual effects of PV panels and their fences, with the ecological indicators showing a greater positive influence than common grassland fencing. Our results suggested that deploying PV arrays was a win-win strategy for promoting grassland restoration and resolving land use conflicts in degraded grasslands.

Can PV power stations be installed in grassland areas?

As a result, PV power stations have rapidly developed in grassland areas (Adeh et al., 2019; Armstrong et al., 2016; Dias et al., 2019; Martín-Chivelet, 2016), particularly in the northern grassland areas of China (Bai et al., 2022; Zhao et al., 2019).

Can solar panels improve land use in grasslands?

However, experimental studies are needed to confirm this promising prospect. The deployment of PV arrays results in significant changes to land use in grasslands, which may affect plant and soil processes as well as ecosystem service provision (Armstrong et al., 2014; Blaydes et al., 2021; Oudes and Stremke, 2021; Weselek et al., 2019).
