Shedding light on solar farm impacts in deserts through energy meteorology

Sydney, Australia (SPX) Jan 06, 2025
Utility-scale solar farms, often deployed in desert habitats, are a cost-effective way to generate power compared to rooftop solar panels. However, these large installations interact with sensitive desert ecosystems, prompting researchers to explore their environmental effects through the growing field of "energy meteorology."
