Putting Solar Panels In The Desert

Even if i had the newer high tech solar panels and i only got 50 to 30 compasity it is better than nothing.

Putting solar panels in the desert.

Its 6m panels produce 1 5. Installing huge numbers of solar panels and wind turbines in the sahara desert would have a major impact on rainfall vegetation and temperatures researchers say. A mojave story brightsource energy is constructing a solar plant in the vast wilderness and has hired a team of biologists to care for and relocate the desert s. Insolation solar radiation in the mojave desert is among the best available in the united states and some significant population centers are located in the area.

There are several solar power plants in the mojave desert which supply power to the electricity grid. The tortoise and the solar plant. Then there are what s called marginalized lands places like landfills mines and contaminated brownfield sites which many are eyeing as the perfect spots for renewable energy projects. Heck if the solar panels deployed in germany over the past decade were instead located 1500 miles south in algeria they would generate enough power to run every light and factory in the whole.

The panels get very dirty very quickly. I do think over time with newer types of solar panels harvesting and new tech a person might be able at at least a third of solar engery by using wall mounted systems. It is worth concederation and limited studies. I think the only reason to pursue solar panels in the sahara would be if it were a stopgap measure in which the long term goal would be to reduce consumption of energy and to change our.

This could mean everything from putting solar panels on the roofs of homes parking garages and large commercial buildings to constructing a utility scale floating solar project in a giant reservoir. Putting solar panels in the hot desert seems obvious but there is a problem that gets in the way of solar power paradise. In the extreme example of a world mostly covered with solar power climate changes in the desert regions where panels are installed would have widespread environmental effects.
