ASSESSMENT THE IMPACT OF SOLAR PANELS ON THE ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

Solar energy is a renewable energy source that is becoming increasingly popular in providing electricity for households and industrial production. Using solar panels also brings many benefits to human life. In particular, solar panels are advantageous in providing electricity to remote and isolated areas that do not have access to the national grid. However, like any other technology, solar panels also have particular environmental impacts that need to be taken into account. From reference sources, this study aims to make statistics and evaluate the impacts of solar panels on the environment. The analyzed results show that the land occupancy index of solar power is the least compared to other power sources for the power plant's life of more than 25 years.
