In this study, we observed the varying microclimate and soil thermal regimes under solar PV arrays in a Gobi ecosystem located in Xinjiang, China, where described as an “Arid zone cold steppe” through Köppen climate classification .
How do solar panels affect microclimatic conditions?
The studied PV technologies created different microclimatic conditions. Shading and energy intake by the panels changes the energy balance of soil and affects the temperature (Wu et al. 2014). This was seen in both studied solar power plants.
What will the climate and soil be under PV panels?
Nevertheless, what will the climate and soil be under PV panels are rarely mentioned. Based on one-year observations, a typical Gobi solar park in northwest China was characterized by lower R n and wind speed under PV panels, along with higher rear side air temperatures, as a result of the installation of PV panels.
How do solar parks affect microclimate?
Solar parks had clear effects on microclimate: if the panels were high enough from the ground, they could lower the Tsurf by providing shade and enough airflow. Additionally, the multidimensional functional diversity (FD) analysis of the vegetation indicated that there was less light at a higher humidity and lower temperature underneath the panels.
Does solar power plant technology change microclimatic and biota conditions?
Therefore, the existence of biological crust could explain differences between the solar panel area and Reference. This preliminary study showed that PV power plant technology modifies microclimatic and biota conditions, but the way and magnitude of the effects depend on local conditions and power plant’s scale.
