What Is The Negative Effects Of Renewable Energy?

As a result of the global high intensity industrial development, increasing amount of energy consumption is required. Hence this has lead to a situation in rapid depletion of fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas; furthermore the negative effect caused by the greenhouse gas produced when burning fossil fuels must be considered. In order to protect the environment together with maintaining enough amount of energy needed in the future, the world have to depend more on producing renewable energy efficiently. Slowly shifting from fossil fuels to renewable energy can reduce greenhouse gas emission with regard to prevent further negative environment impacts. Moreover, fewer amounts of fossil fuels are used for slowing down depletion of fossil fuels without having to worry increasing energy consumption in the future since investing in renewable energy can have significant surplus for our energy security given that renewable energies are continually replenished naturally, i.e. …show more content…
Most energy lost happens during the conversion from energy harvested from the nature to electricity. For example, solar PV systems convert solar energy into electricity then use an inverter to convert electricity from direct current to alternating current, and then supply the generated electricity to the electric grid. The most established solar PV technologies are silicon-based systems, and more recently film modules is developed, this is consist of non-silicon semiconductor material, although thin films have a lower efficiency than silicon modules, but still it has very high efficiencies of up to 40% and in return the overall price for the panels required to produce equal amount of energy is lower, hence more energy can be harvested with the same amount of money used and this is anyway to increase the efficiency of energy
