This study provided the first spatially comprehensive analysis of solar and Wind energy Complementarity on a global scale. In addition, it showed which regions of the world have a greater degree of Complementarity between Wind and solar energy to reduce energy storage requirements.

California's 100% zero-carbon policy (Wu et al. 2019, 2). The study noted that conservation-driven siting
The land area requirements of solar and wind power generation have been studied . The author stated that the potential space impacts of solar and wind energy systems depend on many factors and can vary widely while these systems are likely to affect significantly more land area than other electricity generation installations.
