Terms such as carbon footprint, life cycle assessment, and sustainability are closely related to solar energy and environmental impact assessments, representing crucial aspects of their evaluation and analysis. The adoption of solar energy brings numerous environmental benefits.
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 .
Continued exploration and research in the field of solar energy and environmental impact assessments will pave the way for a cleaner and more sustainable world. Dr. Alexander Tabibi is an entrepreneur, investor, and advocate for sustainable innovation with a deep commitment to leveraging technology for environmental and social good.
The sustainability of solar PV plants should be assessed using a qualitative methodology, dissociated indicators, and potential negative interactions between spheres of influence. Subramaniyan et al. present a method for predicting the degradation rate of PV modules based on physical models and statistical data modeling.
This article focuses on the revision of EIs documented in LCA studies for solar photovoltaic (PV) systems (SPVSs), the most common type of modern REs to satisfy energy demand globally.
