Photovoltaic sand control, in brief, is a novel development model that integrates solar photovoltaic power generation with desert ecological management. It involves constructing large-scale photovoltaic power stations in desert areas to harness abundant solar energy for power. By integrating empirical data, physical models, and comparative tables, I aim to elucidate the mechanisms by which solar panels influence aeolian processes and propose optimized strategies for ecological-photovoltaic synergy. Introduction Desert regions, characterized by abundant solar resources. Northwest China possesses the richest solar energy resources in China, with a dry climate, very little rainfall, and long hours of direct sunlight, and these areas are also some of the most severely sand-affected regions in China. According to the China Land Greening Status Bulletin released by the National Greening Committee Office, China completed afforestation of 59. 97 million mu, grassland improvement of 65.
