Excluding high-vegetation zones, China''s desert regions possess a solar power generation potential of 47–110 PWh per year, which is 5.4–12.7 times China''s 2022 electricity demand and 1.7–3.9 times the global demand. The estimated installed capacity ranges from 36.4 to 84.9 TW, with system costs between $10.0 and 33.5 trillion. The
Solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation is the process of converting energy from the sun into electricity using solar panels. Solar panels, also called PV panels, are combined into arrays in a PV system. PV systems can also be installed in grid-connected or off-grid (stand-alone) configurations. The basic components of these two configurations
In this research, we propose a global network connecting large-scale desert photovoltaics among continents. This network is able to meet yearly as well as hourly power demand for humans considering sand pollution, transmission loss, seasonal differences, and diurnal shifts, which could accelerate the pace of carbon neutrality.
As a result of sustained investment and continual innovation in technology, project financing, and execution, over 100 MW of new photovoltaic (PV) installation is being added to global installed capacity every day since 2013 [6], which resulted in the present global installed capacity of approximately 655 GW (refer Fig. 1) [7].The earth receives close to 885

Desert-based solar energy has emerged as a promising solution for sustainable power generation. In fact, with a vast expanse of available land and abundant sunlight, hot deserts are arguably one of the best places on earth for solar energy production. Some suggest the sun''s power in desert regions could store enough energy to provide power 24/7, despite
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).
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.
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).
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 .
Overall, the greening area of all deserts is much larger than the degradation area, indicating an overall greening trend of desert vegetation after the PV power stations deployment. From 2011 to 2018, the greening area within the range of PV power stations increased to 30.8 km 2 substantially, with the largest greening area in 2016 (31.9 km 2).
