Here we use state-of-the-art Earth system model simulations to investigate how large photovoltaic solar farms in the Sahara Desert could impact the global cloud cover and solar generation potential through disturbed atmospheric teleconnections.

While solar farms in deserts could theoretically supply global energy needs, they're creating unintended consequences. These installations lower surface reflectivity, increasing local temperatures and potentially altering weather patterns beyond desert regions.
