The present invention relates to a method of solar power generation applicable to landfill sites. A landfill comprising waste material is covered by a solar power generating layer, which provides a barrier to gas escaping from the waste material to the atmosphere above. The solar power generating layer comprises a flexible sheet material having solar power generating means bonded thereto for producing electric power from sunlight incident on the landfill. The flexible sheet material may comprise a geomembrane, such as a PVC sheet, and the solar power generating means may comprise thin-film solar cells. The solar power generating layer may comprise a continuous or discontinuous sheet, and in the latter case it may comprise a number or sheet units adjacent to each other, the edges of the sheet units being bridged or held together by fluid-impermeable holding means. The solar power generating layer is optionally laid over a support structure. |
