Are PV systems eco-friendly?

PV systems cannot be regarded as completely eco-friendly systems with zero-emissions. The adverse environmental impacts of PV systems include land, water, pollution, Hazardous materials, noise, and visual. Future design trends of PV systems focus on improved design, sustainability, and recycling.

Can a dual-angle solar harvest system reduce land use?

Cagle et al. (Almomani and Bhosale, 2020) reported that the fast growth of solar systems will acquire thousands of acres in the U.S alone (Cagle et al., 2019). Kafka and Miller (2020) proposed a novel method in order to reduce land use by introducing a dual-angle solar harvest system a two tilt angle solar array.

Can PV systems be integrated with shading systems?

Freitas et al. (n.d.) proposed the integration of PV with shading systems such as tents and umbrella as embedded system where visual impact is an issue. In the future, PV systems design will suits better our daily life by meeting the requirements of visual esthetic and public acceptance (Hong, 2019).

Can a floating PV system be a design alternative?

Pimentel Da Silva and Branco (2018) proposed that the floating structure of the PV system as a design alternative to present the PV in a new configuration providing new apparition of the project in order to have public acceptance.

Can PV panels be used in building facades?

Typically, the integration of PV panels into the facade of buildings has a positive visual impact. Moreover, novel designs and new shapes above floating structures appear to have a pleasant appearance.

Do PV panels affect the landscape?

Most of the PV power plants are installed in rural areas, hence, their negative influence on the landscape is significant (Torres-Sibille et al., 2009). A possible practice to minimize this negative impact is to mount PV panels on the rooftop and building facades (Salameh et al., 2020d; Bazán et al., 2018).
