Abstract:
A methodical frame for evaluating the prospective ecological and health impacts of photovoltaics is necessary to consider both their negative and positive underlying effects. These pros come with a probability to advance carbon sequestration perspective. The cons are considered with a view to alleviate their negative consequences or eliminating them altogether. In this work, we report the effect of pH and dye sol ambient temperature on the environmental impact of three dye-sensitized solar cells, C.papaya, P.dulcis and C.longa to gauge their environmental impact. In the wake of several generations of photovoltaic trends a precautionary check on their effectiveness, stability, cost-competitiveness, storage time and ecological friendliness is a way of isolating carbon for storage and transportation. Thus, although the objective of this project is to investigate factors which are not tangible, discrete factors that impact photovoltaics will be analyzed using direct qualitative technique
s. Using valued environmental components with spatial boundaries, and software effort estimation model to investigate the possibility for re-use, compactness and photo-corrosion among others. The significance of this research is for subsequent moderation in planning, design and to redress newer models of dye-sensitized solar cells technology for higher photovoltaic efficiency and lessen their photo-corrosive influence on our ecological system.
