Compared to coal-fired and hydroelectric power, photovoltaic power generation is cleaner and more environmentally friendly

International research institutions have also reached the same conclusion. As early as March 28, 2012, Greenpeace released the "Research Report on Clean Production in China's Photovoltaic Industry", which pointed out that photovoltaic power generation is an excellent low-carbon energy source. Achieving clean production in the photovoltaic industry can achieve a win-win situation of environmental protection and cost reduction. The report points out that photovoltaic power generation has completely zero emissions during use, while the energy consumption and carbon emissions in the photovoltaic manufacturing process are only 5% -10% of fossil fuels. The energy recovery cycle of photovoltaic power generation is only 1.3 years. Calculated based on a service life of 25 years, photovoltaic power generation has zero carbon emissions for about 24 years, demonstrating its great superiority in energy conservation and emission reduction.
