More reasons: Sand and solar panels don’t mix. Any build up on the panels has to be cleaned, and blown sand will etch the glass quikly and lower power output considerably. Additionally, you don’t want to stop sand blowing around. Those air and dust currents are importand to the world. You can’t have a rainforest in Brazil without sand blown in from the Sahara.
