Energy Waste as a Side-Effect of Photovoltaic Development: Net Impact of Photovoltaics on CO<sub>2</sub> Emissions in European Union Countries

Energy Waste as a Side-Effect of Photovoltaic Development: Net Impact of Photovoltaics on CO<sub>2</sub> Emissions in European Union Countries

Decarbonization policies are being implemented in all EU countries where renewable energy is being developed. One of the main energy sources used for this purpose is photovoltaic energy. However, the development of photovoltaics does not only mean environmental benefits in the form of green energy a...
