Solar energy is unarguably one of the most prominent sources of generating clean electricity. Solar panels, while creating electricity, produce zero carbon emissions, unlike other energy sources like fossil fuel. But the same is not valid for the complete process. There are some parts in the entire lifecycle of solar electricity generation that does possess carbon emissions. Some of the areas do cause water pollution and air pollution as well. 

Through this article, we want our audience to be more aware of what areas to take care of while installing solar rooftop solutions to contribute to reducing greenhouse emissions even more. 

Let’s take a look at the carbon footprint map in the process of solar electricity generation lifecycle:

As mentioned previously, solar panels have zero carbon emissions while creating electricity from the sun. However, there are some other areas where carbon emissions are involved. Let’s look at those areas.
