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).
An undoubted disadvantage of solar energy is that this technology is not equally efficient around the world.
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.
Toxic and carcinogens, heart and liver problems, lung cancer, throat infection, nausea, vomiting, reduced blood cells, dark and red spot on skin, hands and feet etching. Toxic and carcinogenic, kidney, prostate and respiratory system infections, diarrhea, and lung cancer. Coating material in solar panel, screws and solar chassis board.
The risks associated with the use of renewables are often overlooked and this poses serious problems for insurers. However, we are keen to support our customers and to provide guidance on how photovoltaic solar panel systems can be installed and used safely.
It is true that photovoltaic solar panels do not pollute the air during power generation however manufacturing process of them involves many toxic materials, which is highly harmful from SHE perspective. There are some concerns after the completion of expected life of panel and in their recycling process.
