Solar farms help to address climate change by
-
-
- Reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
- Reduction of air pollution by generating electricity without emitting harmful pollutants or greenhouse gases. (Solar panels have a negligible carbon footprint compared to traditional energy sources.)
- Reducing reliance on fossil fuels, which are extracted through mining and drilling, lowers our overall carbon footprint.
- Solar panels are recyclable at the end of their life, lowering their lifetime and manufacturing emissions.
- Encouraging the transition to a renewable energy economy. Fostering innovation and investment in clean technologies, creating jobs and driving economic growth.
- Fostering sustainable development by providing a sustainable and decentralised energy solution that can work in remote and underprivileged areas. This promotes energy access, equality, and resilience.
- Solar panels also make very little noise and use very little water, making them a low-impact land use overall.
