Their analysis showed that most of the PV systems installed next to these routes are located on what was once agricultural land. New research conducted by scientists from the Helmholtz-Centre for Environmental Research Leipzig has shown that more than 39% of Germany's operational PV plants corresponding to approximately 6. 9 GW are located within 500 m of a transport route such as ...
