Reducing Carbon Footprints with On-Grid Photovoltaic Systems: A Path to Sustainability

The unrelenting effort to mitigate carbon emissions has gained crucial momentum in establishing a secure and sustainable environment. Significant emphasis is being placed on achieving environmental sustainability and enhancing carbon capture. This study highlights the critical importance of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy systems in addressing environmental concerns and strengthening energy sectors. It specifically focuses on the emergence of connected photovoltaic systems and their potential to supply the energy sector while reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Through the design of a connected photovoltaic system with a maximum operating power of 584 kW under conditions of 1000 W/m² and 50°C, consisting of 1,095 modules covering an area of 2,994 m², the study demonstrated the system’s ability to save between 13,636 and 23,117 tons of carbon dioxide. These results indicate that photovoltaic systems are a sustainable and transformative solution capable of maintaining the energy sector’s balance by 2050. Furthermore, they serve as a pivotal link in promoting environmental enhancement through renewable, inexhaustible energy sources.
