hi guys, i need help, okay lets say i decide to put solar panels near a place where its inhabitated by people, what kinda of environmental factors should i consider? Will the solar panels cause any damage to the enviromnent around it? Will it affect the plant and animals around it? should i consider the weather? its for my class so if u guys can help thankx.
You would need to consider how much sun your area gets on average. You would need to do a cost/benefit analysis to decide if you will be saving money eventually. Environmentally, it would not affect the plants or animals around it, except those it might block the sun from. Meaning, the grass growing in the shade of the panels will probably die out, but that goes for anything that would cast shade for the majority of the time. Solar panels are simply rechargers for the batteries it's hooked up to. No different than a cell phone charger affects the area, people or plants around it. If it is a worry, make some orgonite and place it around the panels. :)
I wouldn't worry about what the solar panel is going to do to the surrounding environment, I would worry about what the surounding environment is going to do to the solar panels.
