Short summary
As solar energy expands, its effects on ecosystems remain unclear, especially in fragile alpine regions like the Tibetan Plateau. We studied a photovoltaic power plant's impact on climate and soil. The panels increased radiation, reduced wind, and caused daytime warming but nighttime cooling. Soil stayed colder and wetter, extending the frozen period by 50 days. These changes may help stabilize permafrost but could also affect biodiversity and water cycles.
