Understanding and predicting "droughts" in wind and solar power availability can help the electric grid operator planning and operation toward deep renewable penetration. We assess climate models'' ability to simulate these droughts at different horizontal resolutions, ∼100 and ∼25 km, over Western North America and Texas.
Agrivoltaics is a relatively new term used originally for integrating photovoltaic (PV) systems into the agricultural landscape and expanded to applications such as animal farms, greenhouses, and recreational parks. The dual use of land offers multiple solutions for the renewable energy sector worldwide, provided it can be implemented without negatively …
Wind and solar droughts pose serious risks to systems relying on renewable resources; identifying and characterizing these threats can provide essential information for achieving power...

Previous studies have shown that plant biomass between PV panels is 1.5 times greater than that outside the photovoltaic field, while plant biomass under PV panels is lower (Alona et al., 2016). The redistribution of rainfall runoff by PV panels leads to a lower soil moisture content under the panels, and weak annual light conditions result in reduced plant biomass under the panels. …
Due to intricate spatiotemporal correlations among various resources, HRESs effectively mitigate energy drought risk [21, [47], [48], [49]].Gangopadhyay et al. [50] discussed the droughts of wind and solar energy at a daily scale in two regions of India and found that the frequency and occurrence time of wind droughts were much greater than solar droughts, while …
How will the number of energy droughts change for a solar photovoltaic, wind, and hybrid wind-solar power source by 2048–2098? Overall, most models predict an increase in the total duration of solar energy droughts in parts of Western, Central, and Eastern Europe, generally above 40°N, with an opposite trend observed in Southern Spain, Italy ...

In this study, we first develop an index (SDI) to describe the dynamic changes of Supply Demand Imbalance relationship in solar power and then quantify the potential risk of solar droughts at the global scale. Based on observation and simulations, we reveal an anthropogenic exacerbation of global solar drought frequency in the past three decades.
Through the placement of solar panels on crops, photovoltaics can provide shade, reduce evaporation of water from the soil or protect crops against adverse weather conditions. In this sense, reduced evaporation and temperature moderation under shade can create a more favourable microclimate for crops, resulting in improved water use efficiency ...
By using solar panels, farmers can simultaneously protect their plants, save water and lower their energy bills – and some are doing just that with help from federal programs designed to encourage this sustainable method of growing. Photovoltaic panels are placed above the crops, harnessing the sun''s energy while providing valuable shade.
While the use of large, black photovoltaic panels presents a promising solution to the endemic drought issues in the region, it also raises concerns about potential environmental repercussions. Changes to wind patterns and rainfall regimes, as highlighted by a Swedish study in 2020, are among the risks associated with such large-scale interventions.
Here, we redefine solar drought events by considering supply demand imbalance in solar power. Observation and multi-model simulations reveal an anthropogenic exacerbation of global solar drought frequency in the past three decades. Moreover, compared to the pathway SSP2-4.5, the carbon neutrality pathway SSP1-2.6 can mitigate the increasing ...

Dust deposition on solar photovoltaic panels dramatically weakens the panel working operation and service life. In this study, the formation and evolution process of dust deposition on solar photovoltaic panels are studied using a computational fluid dynamics–discrete element model (CFD–DEM) method. Moreover, the dust motion characteristics under different …
We find that compound solar and wind droughts occur most frequently in winter, affecting at least five significant energy-producing regions simultaneously on 10% of days. The associated weather...

The arid sandy areas have great potential for producing solar power, and a large number of solar photovoltaic (PV) power (SPP) stations have been set-up in these regions across the world. Construction of SPP at large scale certainly changes the land surface with consequences on the local ecosystem. However, few studies have focused on these impacts. …
