- 1Coal plant emissions can cut nearby solar panel output●There comes a moment you understand how a # coal # power plant can also directly reduce the performance of your # PV sys
Social media users are discussing how coal power plant emissions can directly reduce the performance of nearby solar PV systems. Pollution and particulates from coal combustion can block sunlight and settle on panels, lowering their efficiency. The observation has struck a chord with people interested in renewable energy, who are pointing out that fossil fuel generation may undermine clean power even where it sits alongside it.
