Reduction of Pollution Emission by Using Solar Energy in Eastern Poland

The present work is devoted to the analysis of electric energy production in photovoltaic power plant located in eastern part of Poland and to the estimation of pollution avoided due to the use of solar radiation energy. Photovoltaic power plant consists mainly of silicon polycrystalline modules but in its experimental part thin film modules of three different technologies are also installed giving the total power of 1.4 MWp. In 2015 the PV plant produced above 1.5 MWh of electric energy. Benefits of renewable energy use result in a significant reduction of emissions that are harmful to people and other living species too.
