Rising shares of wind power and solar power in energy systems raises concerns overtheir land-use requirements (LURs) and associated impacts. Although abundantliterature is available on LURs of solar and wind power, existing estimates exhibit alarge variance, if not even inconsistency.
According to field research, consultation, and literature review, the land use types of conventional ground PV power stations and agricultural PV power stations before construction are identified as unused land, namely bare land, barren mountains and slopes, saline-alkali land, and wasteland (Adeh et al., 2019).
The rapid expansion of photovoltaic (PV) power stations in recent years has been primarily driven by international renewable energy policies. Projections indicate that global PV installations have covered an area of 92000 km 2, equivalent to the entire land area of Portugal (Zhang et al., 2023b, Zhang et al., 2023c).
Consequently, achieving maximum benefits from limited territorial space through large-scale PV development has become an inevitable trend. It is estimated that the direct land requirements for small and large PV installations range from 8.9 to 49.4 m 2 /kW, with a capacity-weighted average of 27.9 m 2 /kW (Marzouk, 2022).
