Exchange on photovoltaic containerization in mountainous areas

Do PV stations affect mountainous environments?

Currently, the modeling analysis of the environmental impacts of PV systems mainly focuses on the macro-scale, while studies on the local scale primarily rely on field observations. However, there is very little observation and quantitative research on the impact of PV station on mountainous environments.

Do mountain PV plants need environmental impact assessments?

The study underscored the need for tailored environmental impact assessments for PV plants with high arrays coverage in mountainous regions. So the design guidelines for mountain PV plants and the regulations during the construction and operation phases should fully consider their environmental impact.

Do mountainous PV plants influence the local atmospheric environment?

Constructed across extensive terrain features and covering significant surface areas (over 80 % in this study), mountainous PV plants substantially influence the local atmospheric environment, particularly in shaded regions, emphasizing their ecological importance.

Can PV plants grow in mountainous regions?

In particular, the rapid development of PV plants in mountainous regions, rather than in deserts and gobis, is primarily driven by the limited availability of land resources. However, compared to the extensive research on PV environmental impacts in deserts and gobis, studies focusing on mountainous regions remain scarce.
