Analysis of the possibility of reducing the amount of air pollution using photovoltaic systems

The paper analyses the possibility of reducing the amount of pollution using photovoltaic systems. The analyses indicate the main sources of pollution. It was estimated how much pollutants are released during the energy production required to ensure the security of energy supply. Simulations of the production of determined amounts of energy by photovoltaic panels were carried out. During the simulation of selected solar devices, the amount of avoided emissions was estimated. Ecological gains were calculated for electricity production from solar systems for a given time interval, the chosen technology and the location.
