These studies show that in desert areas, from an environmental point of view, the energy payback time (EPBT) is 2–3 years, and the carbon emission rate is 17–23 g CO 2 -eq kWh −1.
This study has positively pinpointed the environmental challenges that can affect the performance of solar PV technologies in desert regions. The effect of dust (depositional rates, carbonates and mud content), humidity and solar radiation on the power efficiency of solar panels was observed.
The potential sites for wind farm establishment were identified. In desert regions, several environmental challenges have the potential to reduce solar energy production. These are the formation of thinly crusted mud and/or carbonates coatings caused from deposited dust aerosols during humid conditions and other weather conditions.
Emissions are normalized for Southern European average insolation of 1,700 kWh/m 2 /year, performance ratio of 0.8, and lifetime of 30 year This chapter gives an overview of the life cycle environmental performance of photovoltaic (PV) technologies.
The life cycle stages of photovoltaics involve (1) the production of raw materials; (2) their processing and purification; (3) the manufacture of solar cells, modules, and the balance of system (BOS) components; (4) the installation and operation of the systems; and (5) their decommissioning, disposal, or recycling (Fig. 1).
The solar power efficiency was highly affected by environmental challenges. The wind energy production records exceed the industry average. The potential sites for wind farm establishment were identified. In desert regions, several environmental challenges have the potential to reduce solar energy production.
