Among the various types of renewable energy, solar photovoltaic has elicited the most attention because of its low pollution, abundant reserve, and endless supply. Solar photovoltaic technology generates both positive and negative effects on the environment. The environmental loss of 0.00666 yuan/kWh from solar photovoltaic technology is lower than that from coal-fired power generation (0.05216 yuan/kWh). The negative effects of solar photovoltaic system production include wastewater and waste gas pollutions, the representatives of which contain fluorine, chromium with wastewater and hydrogen fluoride, and silicon tetrachloride gas. Solar panels are also a source of light pollution. Improper disposal of solar cells that have reached the end of their service life harms the environment through the stench they produce and the damage they cause to the soil. So, the positive and negative effects of green energy photovoltaic power generation technology on the environment should be considered.
在各种可再生能源中，太阳能光伏受到了最多的关注，因为它污染低、储量丰富、供应无穷。太阳能光伏技术对环境既有正面影响，也有负面影响。太阳能光伏技术的环境损失为 0.00666 元/千瓦时，低于火力发电（0.05216 元/千瓦时）。太阳能光伏系统生产的负面影响包括废水和废气污染，其代表物有废水和氢氟酸中的氟、铬，以及四氯化硅气体。太阳能电池板也是光污染的一个来源。报废的太阳能电池如果处理不当，会产生恶臭并对土壤造成损害，从而对环境造成危害。因此，应该考虑绿色能源光伏发电技术对环境的正面和负面影响。
