However, producing and using solar energy technologies may have some environmental affects. Solar energy technologies require materials, such as metals and glass, that are energy intensive to make.
The environmental issues related to producing these materials could be associated with solar energy systems. A number of organizations and researchers have conducted PV energy payback analysis and concluded that a PV system can produce energy equivalent to the energy used for its manufacture within 1 to 4 years.
The major environmental impact of glass production is caused by atmospheric emissions from melting activities. The combustion of natural gas and the decomposition of raw materials during the melting leads to the emission of CO 2. Beside water vapour, this is the only greenhouse gas emitted during the glass production.
U.S. environmental laws regulate the use and disposal of hazardous materials. The U.S. Department of Energy is supporting various efforts to address end-of-life issues related to solar energy technologies, including recovering and recycling materials used to manufacture PV cells and panels.
Our standardized container products are engineered for reliability, safety, and easy deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
