Green or not? Environmental challenges from photovoltaic technology☆ 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.
The modern power markets introduce higher penetration levels of solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation units on a wide scale. Along with their environmental and economic advantages, these variable generation units exhibit significant challenges in network operations.
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.
Their research results show that zero power outages can be achieved at low energy costs, but the system does not use all the solar energy available in the area. Photovoltaic systems analysis refers to the concept of daily battery status to improve reliability while minimizing the possibility of power outages, excess energy, and cost constraints.
