However, the environmental impacts of constructing and operating PV solar energy remain unclear. This study assesses the environmental consequences of PV construction and operation by examining changes in vegetation greenness on a national scale in China, where PV solar energy has rapidly expanded.
Essentially, the installation of photovoltaic panels can impact surface water, heat exchange, and energy balance, leading to spatial and temporal variations in environmental effects within the photovoltaic field (Jiang et al., 2021).
These findings indicate the essential role played by the construction of photovoltaic power stations in ecological environmental governance in desert areas. This impact is mainly attributed to the influence on the microclimate and the soil, plant, and microbial communities in these regions.
Notably, the P value of the WPS was greater than that of the TPS and OPS, suggesting that the construction of photovoltaic power plants could alleviate environmental pressure. Numerous studies have shown a positive correlation between evaporation and surface effective radiation 34, 35, 36.
