The photovoltaic module board shields the direct sunlight, effectively reducing the evaporation of surface water; The shading effect of photovoltaic panels can reduce evaporation by 20% to 30%, and photovoltaic module panels can also effectively reduce wind speed. This can improve the living environment of plants. It is for the above reasons that many surface vegetation, including pasture, can grow.

The appearance of surface vegetation in turn contributes to sand fixation and water conservation on the surface, and the improvement of ecology is also beneficial to solar power generation. Dust has a great influence on power generation, and vegetation can reduce dust.

Photovoltaic desert ecological power station is its main sand control model. Its biggest feature is to combine the development of photovoltaics with desert control and water-saving agriculture. The periphery of the power station is composed of grass barriers and sand-fixing forests. Water-saving drip irrigation facilities are installed under photovoltaic panels to plant green cash crops, achieving a win-win situation in economic and ecological benefits.
