Abstract

The technology associated with solar energy provides a cleanest, domestic, and inexhaustible renewable source of energy and its important necessities for renewable energy source in future span. System of solar energy (i.e., solar panel photovoltaics, solar thermal, etc.) that influences benefit of the environment in contrast to the traditional power sources (i.e., coal, petroleum, firewood, straw, etc.) However, it is recognized that the solar-based technological systems have some minor bad affects on the environment throughout the generation and application. This paper summarizes and discusses the effect of waste material of different systems of solar energy in the environment.
