Source. Utility PV plants, and CSP plants require new footprint on land.
Rooftop PV does not take up new land. The total new land footprint required for
the plants, averaged 0.29% of the land area of the countries, mostly for utility
PV plants. This does not account for the decrease in footprint from eliminating
the current energy infrastructure, which includes the footprint for mining,
transporting, and refining fossil fuels and uranium and for growing,
transporting, and refining biofuels and bioenergy.

While utility-scale PV can operate in any country because it can take advantage of both direct and diffuse solar radiation, CSP is assumed to be viable only in countries with significant direct solar radiation, and its penetration in each country is limited to less than its technical potential.
Onshore wind turbines requires ~0.65% of the 139-country land area and can also be used for multiple purposes, such as agricultural land, grazing land, and open space.
CREATES: 24.0 million 35-year construction jobs
and 26.5 million 35-year operation jobs,
outweighing by ~22.1 million the 28.4 million jobs lost in the
fossil energy sector.
Eliminates ~4.6 (1.3-8.0) million premature air pollution mortalities per year today and 3.3 (0.8-7.0) million/yr in 2050, avoiding ~$25.4 ($4.3-$69.7) trillion/year in 2050 air-pollution damage costs (2013 dollars).
Eliminates ~$17 (9.6-36) trillion/year in 2050 global warming costs (2013 dollars) due to greenhouse-gas and particle emissions.
