Evaluation of the impact of solar power plants on the environment
KRÝCHA, Marek
The number of solar power plants in the Czech Republic increased from 249 in 2009 to 12 861 in 2010. This rapid growth was caused by subsidies such as so called green bonus and high feed-in tariff with 20 years guarantee. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate positives and negatives of this technology with regard to the environment. As a model example, the data from the Bušanovice solar power plant were used for evaluation. The price evolution and affordability of photovoltaic technology was evaluated according to the investment and running costs and profit. Estimation of the situation after 20 years of operation and the amount of reduced CO2 emissions were also included in the evaluation. It has been found that the most used photovoltaic technologies possess ecological risk. Solar power plant has the minimum maintenance demands and does not produce any noise emissions or the dangerous substances. Problem however is in the agriculture land occupation and disruption in the landscape throughput and landscape character. The current legislation also does not solve the problem of ecological liquidation of the solar power plants. It can also be concluded that the photovoltaic technologies are becoming more affordable.
