Another commonly used na me is photovoltaic (PV) derived from the Greek words "phos" and "volt" meaning light and electrical voltage respectively [1]. In 1953, the first person to produce a silicon solar cell was a Bell Laboratories physicist by the name of

Previous modeling studies have shown that implementation of wind and solar farms can exert influence on temperature, precipitation, vegetation, and eventually the ecosystem (14, 16). The radiative forcing of large-scale solar panels on otherwise shallow desert surface remains to be evaluated.
Large-scale deployment of solar facilities over the world's deserts has been advanced as a feasible option (Komoto et al., 2015). The climate and environmental impacts of solar farms have drawn increasing attention due to the rapid development of solar energy.
Our Earth system model simulations show that the envisioned large-scale solar farms in the Sahara Desert, if covering 20% or more of the area, can significantly influence atmospheric circulation and further induce cloud fraction and RSDS changes (summarized in Fig. 7) across other regions and seasons.
