Why do DESERT-VISION solar power plants require almost no space?
Admittedly, the question of land requirements for large-scale solar power plants can seem misleading at first glance. A DESERT-VISION solar power plant with a capacity of 1 GWel does require an area of approximately 4 x 4 kilometers. However, the linear mirror design of the DESERT-VISION solar mirror fields offers an exceptional solution: the fields are flat in structure and can be elevated, allowing the space beneath the mirrors to remain fully usable. Unlike conventional solar installations, the mirrors do not form a continuous, closed surface. Instead, sunlight passes through the gaps between the mirrors, creating a pleasant partial shade underneath the field. This shaded environment can be transformed into a versatile oasis, unlocking countless possibilities for its use. The vast, protected space beneath the DESERT-VISION mirror fields offers enormous potential for sustainable land utilization. Entire cities could be developed under these fields, operating completely autonomously thanks to the energy and fresh water generated by the power plant. These cities could sustain themselves while providing an ideal environment for agriculture, industry, and other economic activities. As a result, DESERT-VISION solar mirror fields become regional power hubs, supplying energy, fresh water, and resources for a wide range of applications. They contribute significantly to sustainable development in the regions where they are built. Thanks to this innovative approach to land use, it is fair to say that the power plants effectively require no additional space, as the area beneath the fields can be utilized for numerous other purposes.
