In this study, we analyzed soil taken from beneath photovoltaic modules to determine if they are being enriched by metals (lead, cadmium, lithium, strontium, nickel, barium, zinc, and copper) and metalloids (selenium) present in panel systems. The soil samples were collected from directly beneath c-Si photovoltaic modules and adjacent fields.
A detailed examination of photovoltaic materials, including monocrystalline and polycrystalline silicon as well as alternative materials such as cadmium telluride (CdTe), copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS), and emerging perovskite solar cells, is presented.
Although most of agriculture (Haynes, 2009). Despite toxic metal components, the PV quickly phase out the use of harmful substances. Figure 1: . Soil concentrations of barium (Ba), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lithium (Li), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), selenium (Se), strontium (Sr), and zinc (Zn) at varying distances from the photovoltaic panels.
