Abstract: Photovoltaic (PV) power generation is an emerging energy industry that is developing rapidly. A number of PV power plants have been established in the desert and Gobi areas in northwest China in recent years. Is there any ecological significance to the establishment of PV power plants? If yes, what is it? This paper tries to find the answer by analyzing
The efficiency (η PV) of a solar PV system, indicating the ratio of converted solar energy into electrical energy, can be calculated using equation [10]: (4) η P V = P max / P i n c where P max is the maximum power output of the solar panel and P inc is the incoming solar power. Efficiency can be influenced by factors like temperature, solar irradiance, and material

Among the different renewable energy alternatives, solar power generation imposes itself as the dominant practice in the GCC countries (Bou-Rabee et al., 2017). Kuwait average solar intake is around 9–11 h d −1 with average diurnal solar insolation that can reach more than 7.0 kWh m −2 [20]. On the other hand, aeolian processes is common
Comparing hour-by-hour differences in power generation (UTC time), desert solar farms in Africa, Australia, East Asia, Middle East, and North America peak at 11 AM, 4 AM, 6 AM, 8 AM, and 20 PM (UTC time), respectively. Desert solar farms in North America play an important role in peaking in the power network. Comparing the seasonal difference of power

This study has positively pinpointed the environmental challenges that can affect the performance of solar PV technologies in desert regions. The effect of dust (depositional rates, carbonates and mud content), humidity and solar radiation on the power efficiency of solar panels was observed.
The potential sites for wind farm establishment were identified. In desert regions, several environmental challenges have the potential to reduce solar energy production. These are the formation of thinly crusted mud and/or carbonates coatings caused from deposited dust aerosols during humid conditions and other weather conditions.
