Solar Photovoltaic Panels
Geographic:Environment is degrading day-by-day. Extreme weather conditions like extreme
rainfall, extreme snow, extreme heat and humidity. This type of climate change is leading to the
disaster like floods and tsunamis. The amount of carbon di-oxide is increasing in the atmosphere.
Also, the waste materials from the factories is directly disposed in the water bodies which is
killing the marine life. Because of the changing environment, the agriculture and the livelihoods
of the people is also affecting. The environmental changes are faced by the people
globally.According to (Miles, 2018), & million deaths were recorded globally because of the
unhygienic environment. Some people also suffered from the respiratory problems.

Demographics: According to (Miles, 2018), there were around 7 million people that died
because of the changing weather conditions. Some people died because of the increasing rate of
air pollution, resulting increase in the air pollution.Air pollution has taken many lives globally
and over 2 million are suffering from air pollution in the South- East Asia region. Therefore, it is
important to make use of the natural resources and make environment sustainable for the future
generations as well.
Psychographic:Because of the increasing environmental problems it is important to find an eco-
friendly solution which can preserve the environment as well as maintain the development as
well. Solar panels are introduced to make use of the renewable solar energy for the production of
the goods and services. Solar energy is the most effective and renewable form of energy. Many
companies and houses have established solar panels where the machinery is operated using the
solar panels. Using solar panels is an eco-friendly solution to make use of the heat form the sun
for the production (Miles, 2018). This process is slow but is effective for the environment. There
are some countries which are using solar panels in the companies and for operating the
machineries. Solar panels are a great solution to environment degradation. The most amazing
benefit of solar panel is that it can decrease noise pollution as well. This is because solar panel
produces electricity without any noise which is more environment-friendly as compared to the
large generators. Also, the solar panels are durable and are long-lasting. Solar panels are also
pocket-friendly. Mounting, Cabling, Switches, fuses and some other equipment are needed for
the installation of solar panels.

Behavioural: According to the (Theyearsproject, 2013), Germany is the first country who is
using 35.9 Gigawatts solar panels. On the second position is China with 19. 9Gigawatts of Solar
panels. The benefit of solar panel is that it consumers energy from the radiations of the sun and
produces electricity. Solar panels avoid the use of generators which exhales many harmful gases.
Although, there are still some countries which still do not use solar panels. The solar panels are a
natural way to operate machinery (Theyearsproject, 2019). Although, it is a slow process but it
can benefit the environment as well.For maintaining the environment sustainability, it is
important to use as much as natural resources so that our future generations can also some
natural resources(Theyearsproject, 2019).
Photovoltaic (PV) is a device which is used for the embracing the sun’s energy. The solar cells in
the solar panels directly convert the heat energy into electricity (Platzer, 2012). Also, noise-free,
pollution-free energy is produced in the solar panels. As compared to the expensive machines,
solar renewable energy is more lasting and durable. It can be used again and again also
contributes in the environment sustainability.The benefits of solar panels are:
 It converts the heat from the sun into electricity without any noise and pollution.
 It converts the electric current from DC to AC.
 Natural electricity producing equipment which is long-lasting and durable as compared to
the machineries.It is a renewable source of energy as well (Platzer, 2012).
