Essentially, the installation of photovoltaic panels can impact surface water, heat exchange, and energy balance, leading to spatial and temporal variations in environmental effects within the photovoltaic field (Jiang et al., 2021).
Photovoltaic power generation is playing an increasingly prominent role in the global energy transition, and the rapid expansion of photovoltaic power plants (PVPPs) has raised growing concerns regarding their ecological impacts.
Using solar energy can have a positive, indirect effect on the environment when solar energy replaces or reduces the use of other energy sources that have larger effects on the environment. However, producing and using solar energy technologies may have some environmental affects.
The manufacturing stage of photovoltaic cells and modules is another significant contributor to environmental impacts. The use of hazardous chemicals in manufacturing, such as hydrofluoric acid, sodium hydroxide, and other etching and doping agents, poses risks to workers and the environment if not properly managed.
