Environmental impacts of solar energy systems: A review

Section snippets Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. The earth''s surface receives 1366 W/m 2 of direct solar radiation, which decreases through the atmosphere to a maximum normal surface irradiance of approximately 1000 W/m 2 at sea level on a clear day (Dupont et al., 2020). This puts the sun as a massive, reliable energy generation …
