New research from Turkey shows the need for a more rigorous approach to PV site selection due to increasing hydrological extremes. The scientists claim that fixed-distance buffer zones are not sufficient to protect solar farms from flood and erosion hazards.A group of researchers in Turkey has developed a new model to include flood and erosion risk to PV project siting. The scientists claim that fixed-distance buffer zones are not sufficient to protect solar farms from flood and erosion hazards, stressing that determining a certain distance from dams currently still lacks a scientific basis. "When ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
