Secondly, the review discusses the safety risks associated with solar energy production, focusing on occupational health and safety hazards for workers involved in manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and decommissioning of solar energy systems.
All operations on small-scale solar power installations require training to recognise the various risks and to take the appropriate safety and health measures. The manufacture, disposal or recycling of PV systems can lead to exposure to chemicals.
While solar energy offers numerous environmental and economic benefits as a renewable energy source, it is essential to comprehensively assess and manage its EHS risks throughout the life cycle of solar energy systems.
During their assembly and repair, or as a result of accidental damage (such as in the case of leakage), the chemical risks that may occur are lower since only small amounts of semi-conductor materials are present in the finished items. Solar installations present electric risks during (de)installing, connecting, and maintaining.
However like other power generation sources, solar energy has also some Safety, Health and Environmental (SHE) concerns. This paper presents the overview of solar energy technologies and addresses the SHE impact of solar energy technologies to the sustainability of human activities.
Solar power installations can be the source of a combination of risks throughout their life cycle. This may be influenced by the following main areas of hazards: exposure to toxic chemicals and metals, electric risks (PV)/burns (STP), working at height, and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
