New photovoltaic panels are installed on agricultural land every day and yet their effect on the quality of the soil has not yet been fully verified. Unfortunately, there are not many scientific works that focus on the effect of photovoltaic panels on real soil in real conditions. The presented work intended to establish the basic principles through which the placement of photovoltaic panels changes the quality of the surrounding soil. Since the soil is a very complex system, six basic soil properties were worked on, which were labeled as soil ‘master properties’ in the work by Kuzyakov and Zamanian. It was found that the photovol power plants can have a positive effect on the soil under certain conditions. According to our conclusions, it can be assumed that the placement of PV panels will have a positive effect on a number of soil properties, we can mainly expect an increase in the stability of soil aggregates, an increase in the content of organic matter and an increased development of the microbial community.
