Technical FAQs 4

How much land does solar energy use?

Solar energy’s footprint is land-use intensive (km2/TWhr) rel-ative to other renewable and traditional forms of energy (Trainor et al. 2016) and may require between six to eight acres per MW (DOE 2021a).

Why are large-scale solar energy facilities becoming more popular?

The development of large-scale solar energy facilities is expanding quickly to meet growing electricity generation needs in the U.S. in the coming decades.

Does solar development affect ecosystem function of Natural Lands?

Moreover, ecosystem enhance-ments at PV facilities will depend on the region of the United States; persistence of long-term adverse efects of solar development on ecosystem function of natural lands, such as desert-shrub lands and forest habitats is worthy of study (see also mitigation below).

How many acres are needed for solar-energy conversion?

For example, the Department of Energy (DOE) estimated that 10.3 million acres are needed for solar-energy conversion to meet the decarbonization goals of the United States (DOE 2021a), and this increase in land conversion may bring solar-wildlife challenges and opportunities to the forefront of conservation research.
