As land degradation becomes more severe (see Nature 623, 666; 2023), desert photovoltaics are a triple-win, fostering not only clean-energy generation but also ecosystem recovery and local poverty reduction. . For questions about accessibility and/or if you need additional accommodations for a specific document, please send an email to ANR Communications & Marketing at anrcommunications@anr. In fact, with a vast expanse of available land and abundant sunlight, hot deserts are arguably one of the best places on earth for solar energy production. Some suggest the sun's power in desert regions could store enough energy to provide powe 24/7,despite the eather or time of day. These cells are semiconductor devices that generate direct current (DC) electricity when exposed to sunlight.
