The construction of a photovoltaic power station can have both positive and negative effects on the environment. During the initial phases of construction, activities such as transportation, installation, and road construction may cause damage to the land and vegetation.

However, once the power station is completed and operational, it contributes to microclimatic changes that promote vegetation growth and increase vegetation cover. It’s important to note that constructing a PV power station may negatively impact plant biomass and diversity. For instance, in some areas, the shading effect of PV panels may lead to a decrease in plant diversity and biomass.
However, the specific impact varies across regions and ecosystems. In some areas, the construction and operation of a PV power station may result in a significant reduction in vegetation biomass, while in other places, it may lead to an increase. Overall, the construction of a PV power station has complex impacts on vegetation and ecosystems, which are influenced by factors such as climatic conditions, soil properties, and the size and management of the power station.
