The booming demands for energy and the drive towards low-carbon energy sources have prompted a worldwide emerging constructions of photovoltaic (PV) solar energy facilities. Compared with fossil-based electrical power system, PV solar energy has significantly lower pollutants and greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. However, PV solar technology are not free of adverse environmental consequences such as biodiversity and habitat loss, climatic effects, resource consumption, and disposal of massive end-of-life PV panels. This review highlights the benefits and potential environmental impacts of implementing PV technologies. To the end, some proposals are recommended to improve this new technology's sustainability.
能源需求的蓬勃增长和向低碳能源的转变促使全球范围内涌现出大量的光伏 (PV) 太阳能设施建设。与基于化石燃料的电力系统相比，PV 太阳能的污染物和温室气体 (GHG) 排放量显著更低。然而，PV 太阳能技术并非没有不利的环境后果，如生物多样性和栖息地丧失、气候影响、资源消耗以及大量报废光伏电池板的处置。本综述强调了实施 PV 技术的益处和潜在环境影响。最后，提出了一些建议，以提高这项新技术的可持续性。
