In this study, the impacts of PV solar power plants on the environment will be investigated. Some of the most significant environmental impacts of PV solar power plants are related to land use, greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), water consumption, hazardous materials, visual impact, and noise .
The practical potential of PV power plants is the amount of solar energy that can be converted into electricity by PV systems under acceptable conditions. This depends on the solar radiation, the area desirable and acceptable for PV installation, and the impact and benefit of PV technology.
The environmental impacts of solar energy vary widely depending on the technology, which is divided into two basic categories: PV solar power plants and concentrating solar thermal plants (CSP) . In this study, the impacts of PV solar power plants on the environment will be investigated.
PV solar power plants are a key technology for the transition to a low-carbon energy system in world. However, the deployment of PV systems requires a significant amount of land area , which can pose challenges for land use planning, environmental protection, and social acceptance.
Solar technology is concluded to be much preferable to traditional means of power generation, even considering wildlife and land use impacts. We identified 32 environmental impacts for solar power plants, and found that 22 are beneficial relative to traditional power generation, 4 are neutral, none are detrimental, and 6 need further research.
Water and fossil fuel are not utilized, and pollution is not produced in the process of power generation through solar photovoltaic technology. Thus, a significant amount of capital for environmental protection is saved.
