OMNI Features｜NDHU Environmental Monitoring Reveals Solar Panels Reflect Less Sunlight Than Forests．Offshore Wind Farm Orders Resurging; SK oceanplant Actively Enhancing Market Competitiveness．U.S. DOE Announces $127.5 Million in Funding for Carbon Capture and Removal Centers
National Dong Hwa University (NDHU), commissioned by the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), has embarked on a 10-year environmental monitoring project. According to Professor Shih-Chieh Chang, research reveals that solar panels have a reflectivity of only 10%, lower than the 15% of forests, challenging common misconceptions about solar panels' sunlight reflection. The university established the nation's first "flux tower" at a Fenglin Township, Hualien County solar power plant. Monitoring results indicate that air temperature above the solar field is higher than in forested areas. NDHU is collaborating with the University of Michigan on climate simulations to study the potential impact on surrounding communities further.
