A Study on the Impact of Photovoltaic Panels on the Landscape in Bavaria

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to clarify which cities in Bavaria are affected by the installation of PV on their urban areas and agricultural landscapes, and to show the possibility of further expansion in the future. The following two points are obvious. First, rural areas between Munich and Nuremberg and rural areas at the entrance to Bavaria have a high PV installation rate and a high amount of PV electricity per capita. Second, there will be a change in the amount of PV electricity in 2023, with an increase in PV installations biased toward either buildings or farmland.
