Improper disposal of solar cells that have reached the end of their service life harms the environment through the stench they produce and the damage they cause to the soil. So, the positive and negative effects of green energy photovoltaic power generation technology on the environment should be considered.
This paper presents the insight to various environmental issues. Some of the issues are with respect to land, health of human beings, animals, plant lives and environment are presented in this paper. In terms of numbers, the area of land required for a PV system is less or same per kWh power generated, when compared with a thermal power station.
The environmental impacts of solar energy vary widely depending on the technology, which is divided into two basic categories: PV solar power plants and concentrating solar thermal plants (CSP) . In this study, the impacts of PV solar power plants on the environment will be investigated.
The European Green Plan states that it is critical to decarbonize the European Union’s energy system to meet the climate targets set for 2030 and 2050. According to the REPowerEU plan, photovoltaic systems will play a crucial role in this process. Therefore, it is important to understand the impact of PV installations on the environment.
The negative effects of solar photovoltaic system production include wastewater and waste gas pollutions, the representatives of which contain fluorine, chromium with wastewater and hydrogen fluoride, and silicon tetrachloride gas. Solar panels are also a source of light pollution.
