Abstract—The rapid deployment of large numbers of utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) plants in the United States, combined with heightened expectations of future deployment, has raised concerns about land requirements and associated land-use impacts.
Several states have enacted laws that encourage recycling PV panels. As with any type of power plant, large solar power plants can affect the environment at or near their locations. Clearing land for a power plant may have long-term effects on the habitats of native plants and animals.
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.
Some solar power plants may require water for cleaning solar collectors and concentrators or for cooling turbine generators. Using large volumes of ground water or surface water for cleaning collectors in some arid locations may affect the ecosystems that depend on these water resources.
FREO2 Solar is targeting smaller health facilities, which may have more sporadic oxygen demands and where a larger Solar installation would be overkill. Although Solar is in the early
