One of the most significant environmental benefits of solar power is its ability to drastically reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Traditional energy sources like coal, oil, and natural gas release large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other harmful gases into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and air pollution.
However, it is important to understand why solar panels are good for the environment, as well as understanding the potential downside. Solar power isn’t called renewable energy for nothing. Indeed, we could argue that the potential energy generated by the sun is limitless. As a species, and indeed a planet, we rely on the sun’s rays every day.
Using solar energy can have a positive, indirect effect on the environment when solar energy replaces or reduces the use of other energy sources that have larger effects on the environment. However, producing and using solar energy technologies may have some environmental affects.
Compared with fossil-based electrical power system, PV solar energy has significantly lower pollutants and greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. However, PV solar technology are not free of adverse environmental consequences such as biodiversity and habitat loss, climatic effects, resource consumption, and disposal of massive end-of-life PV panels.
Solar energy is environmentally friendly technology, a great energy supply and one of the most significant renewable and green energy sources. It plays a substantial role in achieving sustainable development energy solutions.
Photovoltaic (PV) solar energy is among the most promising and fastest-growing renewable. The potential environmental consequences of the development PV industry are summarized. Positive changes brought by technological and strategic innovation are analyzed. Some proposals are recommended to improve PV technology's sustainability.
