Land Use Requirements
Land use requirements are established for solar PV, wind energy, solar thermal
and solar thermal electric technologies. Land use requirements of the other
technologies are not included, but many of these fit within the building or on the
building shell. Many locations with cost-effective applications of solar or wind are
constrained by the size of the site. Table A-4 shows land required and available
for wind energy development.
