Large-scale photovoltaic systems in airports areas: safety concerns

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2013, vol. 21, issue C, 402-410

Abstract: The development of large-scale Photovoltaic energy-production systems is one of the promising solutions to replace fuel-based and nuclear-based electricity plants. Compared to most sources of electricity, photovoltaic panels produce few CO2 in operation (although their manufacturing, transport, installation, cleaning and decommissioning/recycling creates CO2 emissions), they need little maintenance, last 20 years or more and can be recycled.
