Abstract

Photovoltaic solar farms are utility-level ground-mounted arrays of interconnected panels that convert sunlight into electricity. Little is known about the extent of any disamenity impact from these farms, despite numerous communities objecting to their construction. This study uses a property fixed-effects model to examine the disamenity impact of photovoltaic solar farms on households in England and Wales, as revealed by changes in property prices. Properties located ≤ 750 m south of an operational solar farm greater than 5 megawatts in capacity suffer a 5.4% reduction in relative prices. The effect of solar farms ≤ 5 megawatts in capacity or located more than 750 m south of properties is statistically insignificant.

太阳能农场的不利影响:享乐分析

光伏太阳能农场是公用事业级的地面安装的相互连接的面板阵列，将阳光转化为电能。尽管许多社区反对这些农场的建设，但人们对这些农场对环境的影响程度知之甚少。本研究使用财产固定效应模型来考察光伏太阳能农场对英格兰和威尔士家庭的不利影响，正如房地产价格变化所揭示的那样。装机容量大于5兆瓦的太阳能发电场以南≤750米处的物业相对价格将下降5.4%。容量≤5兆瓦或位于物业以南750米以上的太阳能农场的影响在统计上是微不足道的。

期刊介绍： Land Economics is dedicated to the study of land use, natural resources, public utilities, housing, and urban land issues. Established in 1925 by the renowned economist and founder of the American Economic Association, Richard T. Ely at the University of Wisconsin, Land Economics has consistently published innovative, conceptual, and empirical research of direct relevance to economists. Each issue brings the latest results in international applied research on such topics as transportation, energy, urban and rural land use, housing, environmental quality, public utilities, and natural resources.
