AI Customer ServiceSolar energy technologies are essential components of a sustainable energy future. Nevertheless, solar energy systems have some certain negative impacts on the environment just like any other energy system. Some of these impacts will be summarized in this section.
The potential environmental impacts associated with solar power—land use and habitat loss, water use, and the use of hazardous materials in manufacturing—can vary greatly depending on the technology, which includes two broad categories: photovoltaic (PV) solar cells or concentrating solar thermal plants (CSP).
One of the biggest drawbacks of solar energy is the high initial cost of installation. While the cost of solar panels has decreased over the years, it is still a significant investment for many homeowners and businesses. The high initial cost can be a barrier for those who want to switch to solar energy.
Installation of solar energy systems affects the nature by use of land, visual disturbance, and presence of hazardous and toxic materials in their composition . Additionally, the production process of renewable energy systems is very material, labour, and capital intensive highly dependent from fossil fuels.
Solar panels create clean energy, free of carbon emission that affects the environment. However, like with most things in life, solar isn’t perfect. Using solar panels to generate electricity also comes with environmental downsides. How does solar energy affect the environment negatively?
The environmental impact of second-generation solar cells has been reported in the literature. The researchers explored the environmental impacts of the module with the aid of electricity from fossil fuel (Mohr et al., 2009).
