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.
China has established clear regulations to ensure sustainable and harmonious integration of PV panels into agricultural landscapes. Land for PV is primarily acquired through lease agreements with relevant stakeholders, ensuring protection against the use of arable land.
Additionally, this research initially assumed that different land use types would not significantly impact PV electricity generation. However, real-world scenarios may differ. For instance, vegetation on cropland could shade the PV panels, affecting their output.
While most PV projects in China are land-based due to solar energy's dispersed nature, there's an increasing focus on maximizing ‘water’ resources like oceans, lakes, reservoirs, and subsidence zones to improve land use efficiency .
Addressing pressing issues such as global climate change, dwindling fossil fuel reserves, and energy structure transitions, there is a global consensus on harnessing photovoltaic (PV) technology. As PV projects burgeon, they intensify the demand for land resources. Given land's scarcity, its efficient use for PV becomes paramount.
