There is no actual pollution from solar energy - apart from the pollution caused in the manufacture of the solar panels.

Which country is the largest producer of solar energy?

China is the largest producer of solar energy in the world, with a significant amount of solar capacity installed across the country. The government has made significant investments in solar energy infrastructure to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and combat pollution.


Can solar cells cause pollution?

Yes, solar cells can cause pollution, primarily during their manufacturing processes. The production of photovoltaic cells often involves the use of hazardous materials and chemicals that can lead to air and water pollution if not managed properly. Additionally, the disposal of solar panels at the end of their life cycle can contribute to waste and pollution if they are not recycled or handled responsibly. However, the overall environmental impact of solar energy is generally much lower compared to fossil fuels.


Is solar energy being overused?

NO!!! Whilst the Sun big , bright, yellow light in the sky, there will always be solar energy. The amount of energy that the Sun releases is so huge , mankind's entrapment of solar energy is minscule.


What quiestions are there about solar energy?

A question about solar energy could be: what is solar energy?: what does solar energy do?:does solar energy do anything for the earth/planet?


Can Solar energy reduce carbon dioxide pollution?

If it replaces power that would otherwise produce carbon dioxide, then it must do so, because it does not emit CO2. This is not taking account of the process of manufacture of the solar panels-this may cause some pollution. Addition: The CO2 cost of manufacturing solar panels is cancelled out in just a few years of using the solar panels for energy, whether they are photovoltaic panels for electricity, or solar thermal panels for heating hot water.

What can you learn from solar energy?

it does not cause pollution


Can passive solar energy cause pollution?

No. "Solar" is the sun, so your question assumes the sun causes pollution. It does not.


Can solar energy help cut down on air pollution?

Absolutely. Solar collectors give off no air pollution, so if forms of energy generation that create air pollution (like the burning of coal) are replaced by solar collectors, air pollution is reduced.

How can solar energy fix your pollution problem?

yes


Good things about solar energy?

Solar energy is one of the environmental friendly ways to harness energy. It does not cause environmental pollution. It will be the energy of the future.


Why does solar energy not have pollution?

Actually solar energy systems do generate pollution, but the vast majority of that pollution is generated during manufacture not use. This makes containing and limiting the pollution much easier. After approximately 3 months of use, the renewable energy produced by the panels has compensated for the initial pollution. Then the panels produce free, clean, renewable energy with no carbon dioxide pollution.


Which energy resource is pollution free?

Solar power plant


What are some pros and cons of using solar energy?

One will find using solar energy has it's own set of pros and cons. Since using solar energy doesn't produce pollution, it can help improve the environment of the earth. However, a con of using solar energy would be the production of the solar energy collecting devices, which do produce quite a bit of pollution.


Why is solar energy environmentally safe?

There is not any side effect of solar energy on environment. In real terms no energy is without some environmental impact. Solar energy requires solar cells or some conversion panel to use the energy in some needed or desired form. These units take energy to create. This pollution is ignored as once made, no further pollution is created.


What are the social and economic benefits of solar energy?

After the initial set costs, solar energy on paper is "free" energy, it is very low maintenance and pollution free


What is the difference between global warning and solar energy?

global warming is because of pollution and solar power can prevent that so........solar energy is good because it does not pollute
