A research team based in China carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis of 147 studies on how solar photovoltaic systems alter land surface processes, covering 609 facilities worldwide and 11 key climatic variables. Results show mixed environmental effects, although mostly significant, including the reduction of wind speed, albedo and land surface or soil temperatures, along with an increase in soil humidity, while changes in air temper…

Study finds PV plants reshape land surface conditions, reducing wind speed and increasing soil moisture
A China-based research team conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 147 studies on how solar PV systems alter land surface processes, covering 609 installations worldwide and 11 key climate variables. The results show mixed but mostly significant environmental effects, including reduced wind speed, albedo, and land surface or soil temperatures, alongside increased soil moisture, while air temperature changes remained largely non-signi…
