Environmental Impact of Solar Photovoltaic Cells: A Review

ABSTRACT

The atmosphere has considerable releases of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, sulphur, and other particulate matter. These emissions can be traced back to human activity. This study makes a contribution to a re-evaluation of carbon gas emissions and how the installation of solar panels can have an effect on those emissions. Within the scope of our study, we analysed the many roles that solar panels play. Solar panels are typically made out of photovoltaic cells. What a solar photovoltaic (PV) system produces is a reduction in the amount of carbon emissions produced by your local power utility to generate one kilowatt-hour of electricity. It is possible for a solar panel system to supply a full house with all of the electricity that it requires, while emitting approximately seventy-five percent less carbon than traditional fuel sources. I reviewed the various solar panel systems and their ability to cut down on carbon emissions by utilising a variety of the technologies that are involved with them.
