While the amount of power generated can exceed a gigawatt, PV plants require large tracts of land for panel installation resulting in ecological changes and other environmental issues such as desertification due to the presence of solar panels, concurrent use with respect to agriculture, reduction of flora and fauna, water contamination, water use for panel cleaning, etc.</p><p> </p><p>Enel Green Power intends to find and promote innovative actions that either mitigate the environmental impact of large PV plants or, preferably, generate a more positive outcome, <b>with a strong emphasis upon LAND USE</b> (so, for example, solutions regarding the disposal and recycling of PV modules and other plant components are excluded).</p><p>In this context it could be possible to introduce, in a complementary approach, actions to maximize the social benefit for local communities.</p><p>The focus of the activity must be the concurrent use of the land and how we can generate a positive impact associated with a <b>LARGE PV PLANT</b> (e.g. avoiding desertification due to the presence of solar panels, reduction on flora and fauna, water contamination of deep wells, etc.)</p><p><br></p><p>This Challenge provides contribution to the following Sustainable Development Goals:</p><p><br></p><ul><li><b>SDG 7: Affordable and clean energy</b></li><li><b>SDG 8: Decent work and economic growth</b></li><li><b>SDG 15: Life on land </b></li></ul><p><br></p><p><i>- Register now to start solving this Challenge!
