Solar farms take up space, and on average, they need between 5 to 10 acres of land for every megawatt of power they generate. . Abstract—The rapid deployment of large numbers of utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) plants in the United States, combined with heightened expectations of future deployment, has raised concerns about land requirements and associated land-use impacts. The energy output of a solar farm depends on factors such as capacity, solar irradiance, and weather conditions. An acre of solar panels can produce around. . We found total land-use requirements for solar power plants to have a wide range across technologies.
