Ground-mounted PV reduces overall soil loss but intensifies erosion beneath panel edges

Chinese researchers have found that PV arrays can reduce overall soil erosion on hillslopes while concentrating erosive forces beneath panel drip lines. The study shows that panel height, tilt angle, and layout influence runoff patterns, rill formation, and the risk of foundation scour.
