View moreIn this work, the responses of global atmospheric circulation from the ground to ~500 km to solar activity were analyzed. As demonstrated by the results above, solar activity has a significant impact on atmospheric circulation in the upper atmosphere, as high solar activity can enhance the intensity of atmospheric circulation.
Here we find that solar panel electricity generation will redistribute the energy from the sun, thus affecting regional and global climates. Without the solar panels, solar radiation reaching the surface is partitioned into absorption and reflection.
The changes in irradiation for different regions, seasons, timeframes and scenarios seldom exceed ±10% 9. However, the global climate pattern can also be disturbed by massive deployment of solar energy. This is attributed to the resultant changes in land surface properties (e.g., the surface albedo, roughness) 11, 12.
Here we find that solar panel electricity generation will redistribute the energy from the sun, thus a˙ecting regional and global climates. Without the solar panels, solar radiation reaching the surface is partitioned into absorption and reflection.
We find that solar panels alone induce regional cooling by converting incoming solar energy to electricity in comparison to the climate without solar panels. The conversion of this electricity to heat, primarily in urban areas, increases regional and global temperatures which compensate the cooling effect.
If we linearly scale up this temperature change to consume all the power produced in the SPDU + UH experiment, the global mean temperature could rise by 0.63 °C, which will not only compensate the cooling induced by solar panel power production, but also lead to a few tenths of a degree warming relative to the Control (0.63 − 0.25 = 0.38 °C).
