Building a solar power station in the desert to store energy

4 FAQs about [Building a solar power station in the desert to store energy]

Can solar power be installed in deserts?

One of the most important challenges of renewable energies, particularly solar, is the large extension of land that they require for their installation. However, taking advantage of deserts such as the Sahara or the Atacama could be the perfect solution given the enormous surface area available and the large amount of solar radiation they receive.

Could a desert be the best place to harvest solar power?

The world’s most forbidding deserts could be the best places on Earth for harvesting solar power, which is the most abundant and clean source of energy we have. Deserts are spacious, relatively flat, rich in silicon — the raw material for the semiconductors from which solar cells are made — and never short of sunlight.

Can a desert be used for solar energy production?

A recent study in China showed that a solar plant in an arid desert improved soil properties and favoured the regeneration of local vegetation. Using deserts for solar energy production has enormous potential. As technology advances and solutions to current challenges are developed, we are likely to see more such projects in the future.

Could large solar farms in the Sahara Desert redistribute solar power?

Large solar farms in the Sahara Desert could redistribute solar power generation potential locally as well as globally through disturbance of large-scale atmospheric teleconnections, according to simulations with an Earth system model.
