The global primary energy consumption is 1.76 × 10 11 MWh in 2021 (26), which also means that based on the current energy demand, the volume of desert photovoltaic power is able to supply the world with energy. The power supply of deserts in the Middle East, East Asia, Australia, and North America is ranked in sequence.
The results reflect that deserts in the African region are more vulnerable to the impacts of the placement of PV panels and show the most drastic changes in radiative forcing, due to the shallower ground surface and intense solar radiation (32).
For investigating diurnal and seasonal variations of solar radiation in deserts, a data set of high-resolution (3 h, 10 km) global surface solar radiation (1983 to 2018) (27) (Fig. S5) is used to differentiate the hour-by-hour power generation of desert solar farms in four seasons (Fig. S6).
In the future carbon-neutral scenario, photovoltaic power from deserts is one of the optimal choices to completely replace coal-fired power (12). Large desert photovoltaic power stations have been successfully and repeatedly practiced in the world.
Desert areas benefit from high irradiation levels , and the photovoltaics power potential in these areas exceeds 2100 kWh/kWp . This means only a small area of desert covered by PV modules can potentially cover today's world's need for electricity , and this drives the major installation market to these areas . ... ...

Habitat conversion The most direct impact solar development has on desert habitat and the wildlife that calls it home is through direct destruction of that habitat. Though
In desert zones, a continuous cleaning activity of photovoltaic panels in solar plants is required since the deposition of both airborne dust and sand after a storm can reduce their efficiency up to 80%. Manual cleaning of the photovoltaic panels in dry areas is costly, cannot make use of water and workers must be employed several times in a month, often …
