Modeled annual mean (ANN) (a) total cloud fraction and (e) RSDS in CTRL, and (b–d) total cloud fraction and (f–h) RSDS response in S05, S20 and S50. Full size imageRSDS changes largely follow the cloud fraction changes (Fig. Impacts on solar power generationWe next examine how the global PV power generation is affected by large-scale solar farms in the Sahara in our simulations. Predominantly, the PVpot changes (Fig. This leads to surface convergence, and subsequently a positive geopotential height and divergence at the upper troposphere over North Africa (Fig.
