6 FAQs about [Western Sahara agriculture photovoltaic system]

Do Sahara solar farms affect global climate and vegetation cover?

However, by employing an advanced Earth-system model (coupled atmosphere, ocean, sea-ice, terrestrial ecosystem), we show the unintended remote effects of Sahara solar farms on global climate and vegetation cover through shifted atmospheric circulation.

Could teleconnections affect solar farms in the Sahara Desert?

Large-scale photovoltaic solar farms envisioned over the Sahara desert can meet the world's energy demand while increasing regional rainfall and vegetation cover. However, adverse remote effects resulting from atmospheric teleconnections could offset such regional benefits.

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.

Can large-scale solar farms influence atmospheric circulation in the Sahara Desert?

Our Earth system model simulations show that the envisioned large-scale solar farms in the Sahara Desert, if covering 20% or more of the area, can significantly influence atmospheric circulation and further induce cloud fraction and RSDS changes (summarized in Fig. 7) across other regions and seasons.

Can wind and solar farms be used together in the Sahara?

When wind and solar farms are deployed together in the Sahara, changes in climate are enhanced.

Do solar farms cover the Sahara Desert?

In our model, for instance, if the solar farms do not cover a large enough fraction of the Sahara desert (20% coverage or more), then the responses are quite muted (e.g., the S05 scenario, Text S3).
