ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the following issues are researched and investigated for developing and constructing a new concept of integrated renewable energy technology and photovoltaic (PV) generation, installed in arid regions or deserts with agricultural technology:
• the possibility of utilizing VLS-PV in desert areas; • a sustainable scenario for installing VLS-PV systems; • modelling of a sustainable society with solar photo-
voltaic generation and greening in the desert; • specific problems of very large scale photovoltaic
power generation (VLS-PV) systems in desert areas; • the use of solar PV generation with regard to
elemental technology/systems for sustainable agriculture;
• sustainable agriculture utilizing other regional renewable energy options;
• desertification issues; • issues regarding irrigation; and • the effects of VLS-PV on the location environment.
