Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation System Environmental Protection

Is photovoltaic solar energy sustainable?

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.

Do solar PV systems impact the environment?

The previous literature review reveals a well-established environmental impacts assessment of the solar PV systems is crucial. Currently, there is a gap in the literature regarding the impact of different PV system components on the environment.

Does solar PV technology contribute to environmental and socioeconomic development?

Contributions The present study mainly centers on the contributions of solar PV technology to environmental and socioeconomic aspects as a vital tool for national development. Herein, the needed policy structure is scarce in the literature and slightly ignored by the researchers.

Is PV solar energy a good source of energy?

Conclusion and recommendations PV solar energy is one of the most promising sources and can potentially make a significant contribution to both carbon emission reduction and future energy demand. PV power generation is a lower-carbon and greener technology compared with fossil-fueled electricity.

How do assisting policies affect solar PV systems?

For the past few decades, the growth of solar PV systems has been powered by the application of different assisting policies targeted at decreasing the breach between the price of PV energy and the energy price for conservative production.

Is PV a viable energy provider?

The unit cost of PV technology has decreased to nearly one-third of its initial stand more than four years ago, coupled with constant practical improvements and studies for efficiency rise. Henceforth, PV will remain at a strong emerging rate and finally become an indispensable energy provider in the universe.
