6 FAQs about [Solar power generation in deep mountainous areas]

Can solar power be harvested in mountainous areas?

An economic aspect of solar power harvesting in mountainous areas is the cost of land. Prices of high altitude parcels could be expected to be lower due to their remote locations. Steep slopes and high distances to socio-economic centers make it less attractive for residential building projects.

How many ground-mounted PV power stations are there in China?

According to our dataset, China has a total of 2467.7 km 2 ground-mounted PV power stations in 2020. The top three largest provinces refer to Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Qinghai, whose PV area ratio are 14.92%, 12.49% and 11.26%, respectively, with a total of nearly 40% of all the PV power stations of China.

Does China have a spatial map of PV power stations?

Although some researchers released several PV power station maps, most only met a medium resolution of 30 meters 9, 10. There thus still lacks a national map of China’s PV power stations with a higher spatial resolution (i.e., 10 meters) that could provide a global understanding of PV’s spatial deployment patterns.

Can a random forest map a solar power plant?

Random forest algorithm has been widely used to map PV solar power plants at multiple scales, but it always causes several salt-and-pepper noises, limiting its application at larger spatial scales.

Can Landsat imagery improve PV solar power plants?

The larger numbers of Landsat imagery, training samples, and input variables can include more PV solar power plants and more accurate PV information in our study (Fig. 10 c and d).

Do solar power plants have occupied land cover types?

The numbers of occupied land cover types can be much larger when PV solar power plants are mapped at much larger spatial scales (Xia et al., 2022a), and thus enough training and validation samples representing all the PV types are of great importance to the high accuracy of final maps.
