6 FAQs about [Solar Photovoltaic Terrestrial Photovoltaic]
What is solar photovoltaic (PV)?
Solar photovoltaic (PV) is an increasingly important source of clean energy and is currently the third-largest renewable energy source after hydropower and wind, accounting for 3.6% of global energy production 1, 2.
Do solar photovoltaic power stations affect terrestrial ecosystems?
Front. Ecol. Evol., 21 March 2023 The rapid increase in construction of solar photovoltaic power stations (SPPs) has motivated ecologists to understand how these stations affect terrestrial ecosystems. Comparing study sites, effects are often not consistent, and a more systematic assessment of this topic remains lacking.
